OA The species on Branches F, G, H, and I are all equally related to the species on branch C because they all split from a common ancestor at the same time which is illustrated by having nodes 2 and 7 at the same height. O B. The species on Branch A & B are both most closely related to the species on branch C because they share the most most recent common ancestor at node 2.

Using evidence from the phylogenetic tree determine which species would
be MOST closely related to the species on branch C?
O A. The species on Branches F, G, H, and I are all equally related to the species
on branch C because they all split from a common ancestor at the same
time which is illustrated by having nodes 2 and 7 at the same height.
O B. The species on Branch A & B are both most closely related to the species on
branch C because they share the most most recent common ancestor at
node 2.
C. The species on Branch B is most closely related to the species on branch c
because they share the greatest number of common +ancestors.
D. The species on Branch A is most closely related to the species on branch C
because they share the most recent common ancestor at node 1.
