Question 5 options:
A)
DNA isn't useful in phylogeny, as morphological characteristics are used exclusively in phylogeny.
B)
DNA sequences are rearranged to predict how species could evolve in the future.
C)
DNA sequences from different species can be compared, giving us more information about their evolutionary relationships.
D)
DNA from every organism in a clade is sequenced to identify genetic mutations that have occurred.
1 answer
C) DNA sequences from different species can be compared, giving us more information about their evolutionary relationships.
This option accurately reflects how DNA can be utilized in phylogeny. By comparing genetic sequences, scientists can determine the similarities and differences between species, which helps to elucidate their evolutionary relationships and construct phylogenetic trees.
