Which statement best explains why two different plant species have the same two types of chlorophyll present? a Both plants share a common ancestor. b Both plants produce asexually. c Both plants are flowering plants. d Both plants live in the same location.

Answer 1

The statement that best explains why two different plant species have the same two types of chlorophyll present is: a Both plants share a common ancestor.

This is because the presence of the same types of chlorophyll in different plant species suggests that these traits were inherited from a common ancestor that also had these chlorophyll types. The other options do not provide a direct evolutionary explanation for the similarity in chlorophyll types.
