Using DNA to determine which organisms are related to others is called:

• Homologous Chromosomes

• Molecular Biology

• Vestigial Structures

• Pharyngeal pouches

Organisms that have the most DNA sequences in common

• have the same number of legs

• Are the least related

• are randomly distributed

• Are the most related
