The statement that describes a limitation of the methods of relying on the fossil record and comparative anatomy is:
They can show false relationships between organisms that are not reflected in the DNA.
This indicates that these methods may not accurately represent evolutionary relationships, as modern genetic analyses can reveal different relationships than those inferred from anatomical features alone.
