Would a barnacle's DNA be more similar to the DNA of a crab or that of a limpet?

Barnacles and Crabs are both Crustaceans, while limpets are Molluscs - so I would assume that a barnacle's DNA would be more similar to a crab's.

How does a stone crab reproduce?
Stone crabs mate after molting when the female is soft. Males deposit spermatozoa in the receptacle of the female. Eggs are fertilized within the ovary lumen. After fertilization and ovarian development, eggs are deposited in an external mass or sponge (160,000 to 1 million per egg mass) beneath the female abdomen. At this time, females are termed ovigerous, or egg-bearing. Eggs usually hatch within two weeks after they are extruded. Larval development takes approximately four weeks before metamorphosis to the juvenile form.
Is the electromagnetic spectrum the entire range of electromagnetic waves?
Yes and no. Gamma-rays may be highest frequencies (with an energy of 5x104eV or 50,000 electron volts). It is rare to find frequencies higher than 5x1028, but cosmic radiation may be detected at that range. NASA is trying to find and research ultra-high emissions of gamma-rays, because observing them on earth may diffuse the energy as it may traverse through our atmosphere. There are currently a number of projects (such as OWL and MILAGRO) being developed that will collect ultra-high energy gamma-rays from cosmic sources, especially from the Crab Nebula.
Would a barnacles DNA be more similar to the DNA of a crab or that of a limpet?
Since crabs and barnacles belong to the same evolutionary lineage, one would expect their DNA to be more similar. However, convergent evolution could result in homoplasies that would cause a barnacle to have DNA more similar to that of a limpet than a crab.
Would a barnacle's DNA be more similar to the DNA of a crab or that of a limpet Explain?
Barnacles are crustaceans, and therefore more closely related to crabs than to mollusks like limpets. The apparent similar morphology of barnacles and limpets is a result of convergent evolution. It does not necessarily require DNA (i.e., similar genotype) in order to produce similar phenotype (physical characteristics).
What types of organisms would be found in a tide pool?
sea urchins, sea stars, sea anemones, octopus, mussels, chiton, hermit crab,c oralline algae, limpet, shore crab, turban snail and barnacles.

seaweed - limpet - crab - humans
What is the symbiotic relationship between a barnacles and crab?
Barnacles on a crab's shell improve its toughness, while the barnacles (normally lacking motility) are able to visit more than one location to obtain food, and may even feed on the crab's prey. Some barnacles, however, can cause damage or sterility in some species of crabs.

Is it common to be served a barnacle in crab legs and are barnacles safe to eat?
I had never been served crab legs with barnacles.... until today. According to our server at Red Lobster they are "harmless" and don't compromise the flavor... which made no difference to me as they looked DISGUSTING and I immediately lost my appetite for crab. It at the very least did not look palatable and I am shocked that they were okay with serving a plate full of these critters! It really gave me the heebie jeebies and I won't be eating crab or at Red Lobster anytime soon!
