Based on the classification of organisms into vertebrates and invertebrates, the two groups that would share the most similar DNA are "turtles and frogs." Both turtles and frogs are vertebrates, which means they share more genetic similarities compared to organisms from different classifications, such as vertebrates and invertebrates or the other pairs listed.
