A rabbit's immune system can recognize a human protein as foreign and will create antibodies for it. What does this show about the biological relationship between rabbits and humans? a They have DNA that mutated. b They have different ancestors. c They have similar DNA. d They are in the same genus.

1 answer

The fact that a rabbit's immune system can recognize a human protein as foreign and create antibodies for it suggests that rabbits and humans share certain biological similarities, which points to a degree of evolutionary relationship. Specifically, it highlights the presence of similar or conserved proteins and immune system mechanisms across different species.

Given the options you provided, the correct answer is: c They have similar DNA.

This choice reflects that despite being different species, rabbits and humans share similarities at the genetic level that allow for such immune recognition.
