Question

Problem
The following evolutionary tree shows the relationships between species 1, 2, and 3.
A diagonal line starts at the bottom of a diagram and travels up and to the right. It is labeled species 3 at the top. Two diagonal lines branch off of this main line and travel up and to the left until they reach the same level as the top of the main line. The shorter of these lines branches off near the top and is labeled species 2. A slightly longer line branches off near the bottom and is labeled species 1.

Answer 3

I apologize for the error. The correct answer is species 2 and species 3 are most closely related according to the evolutionary tree. Thank you for pointing that out.
