To determine which two groups of organisms share the most similar DNA, we need to consider their evolutionary relationships and classifications.
1. **Turtles and frogs** - Both are reptiles and amphibians, respectively, but they are quite distantly related within the vertebrates.
2. **Warm-blooded and cold-blooded** - This category does not accurately compare specific organisms but rather refers to physiological traits that could span multiple groups.
3. **Bears and salmon** - Bears are mammals (warm-blooded), and salmon are fish (cold-blooded), which means they diverged quite early in the evolutionary tree.
4. **Vertebrates and invertebrates** - This division is based on a fundamental classification and represents two vastly different evolutionary branches.
Given this information, **turtles and frogs** would share the most similar DNA among the options provided because they are both vertebrates and belong to groups that are more closely related compared to the other options listed.
So the answer is: **turtles and frogs.**
