Different lines of evidence may be used when determining whether two species are related. Drag the words into the boxes to correctly complete the paragraph. Details fom fossils help link species. Examples of such details include structires, which are similar structures that have different functions in different organisms. In addition, mole ular evidence such as sequences provides further evidence for the relal nship between two species.
