To determine which two groups of organisms share the most similar DNA based on your information, one would generally compare organisms that are more closely related evolutionary.
Given the options:
- Turtles and frogs: Both are vertebrates and have a closer evolutionary relationship compared to organisms from different classifications.
- Vertebrates and invertebrates: These represent two major divisions in the animal kingdom, which implies a significant genetic difference.
- Bears and salmon: Bears are mammals (vertebrates), and salmon are fish (also vertebrates), but they belong to different classes within vertebrates.
- Warm-blooded and cold-blooded: This refers to physiological categories rather than taxonomic ones and includes a mix of vertebrates and invertebrates.
Among the options provided, **turtles and frogs** would likely share the most similar DNA because they are both reptiles and amphibians, respectively, and closely related as vertebrates. This group is the most specific and indicates a closer evolutionary relationship compared to the other options listed.
So, the answer is: **turtles and frogs**.
