Question

Read the scenario.

An evolutionary biologist performs a research project in which she analyzes a specific blood protein found in most mammals. In her analysis, she determined that the protein is made from a sequence of 88 amino acids. She identified each of the specific amino acids that make up the blood protein for five different organisms (A-E). Below is a table that shows the results. The numbers in the table represent the number of amino acids that match when comparing two different organisms. For example, if you compare organisms A and B, you will see that they have 31 amino acids that match.

Organisms	A	B	C	D	E
A	X	31	42	8	65
B	31	X	14	3	10
C	42	14	X	72	43
D	8	3	72	X	19
E	65	10	43	19	X

Using the data above, which two organisms are the most closely related?

a	organisms A and D
b	organisms A and E
c	organisms B and D
d	organisms C and D
