the role in which molecular evidence play in determining how closely two species are related to each other is through the cladogram
Well, using molecular techniques we can now sequence and evaluate the genomes of organisms. So if we know the genes in a human, a monkey, and a carrot, for example, then we can see genetically which organism is more related to the other. Mind you Darwin didn't even know what genes were when he did his research in the Galapagos

A scientist is trying to determine the relationship between clams, snails, and squid. When she generates a molecular clock, she is surprised to see that clams and squid are more closely related than clams and snails. Which did the molecular clock data show?

The kinds of evidence that indicates how closely species are related are evidence of DNA and protein structure.

You can tell how closely related organisms are by determining the lowest classification that they share. For example, organisms that share the same genus will be more closely related than organisms that share the same family.
They are not THAT closely related; bats are mammals, not birds. Both mammals and birds are vertebrate animals.

If organisms have similar genes, then they are closely related.
A phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from members of all three kingdoms (Plus an outgroup) would reveal who fungi are most closely related to.
What is RNA closely related too? What is RNA closely related too?

Similarities in anatomy, biochemistry, and DNA might suggest a relationship. As it turns out birds and insects have no such similarities aside from characteristics common to all animals. Therefore they are not closely related.
