Birds and amphibians have no similarities in their amino acid sequences.
Birds and amphibians have no similarities in their amino acid sequences.

Reptile embryos are similar to birds but have no similarities with mammals and amphibians.
Reptile embryos are similar to birds but have no similarities with mammals and amphibians.

Mammals have more genes in common with birds than with amphibians.

Answer 1

The statement that would best support the relationships shown on the graph of different types of vertebrates is:

"Amphibians and mammals have similar traits that are not seen in reptiles and birds."

This statement suggests a close evolutionary relationship between amphibians and mammals, which would align with a graph indicating their proximity on a phylogenetic tree or similar representation of vertebrate evolution. The other statements either incorrectly suggest a lack of relationship or imply unexpected genetic similarities that would not support the shown relationships on the graph.
