Question 9 D The presence of tiny hairs, called setae, on the toe pads of some geckos is associated with the ability to adhere to smooth surfaces. This ability allows geckos to climb in areas where many predators cannot. Scientists studying the evolution of setae have identified three closely related species of gecko, only one of which can adhere to smooth surfaces. A model of th evolutionary relatedness between these species is represented in the figure. G. humeralis 2 OG. concinnatus Can adhere O Cannot adhere 3 OG. antillensis Which of the following statements is an accurate description of the evolutionary relationships shown in the model?

G. humeralis 2 10 11 12 (13 C Cannot agnere OG. antillensis Which of the following statements is an accurate description of the evolutionary relationships shown in the model? A G. concinnatus is more closely related to G. antillensis than to G. humeralis. G. antillensis has more DNA and protein sequences in common with G. humeralis than with G. concinnatus. G. concinnatus and G. humeralis share the most recent common ancestor, as compared to G. antillensis. D G. humeralis is more closely related to G. concinnatus than to G. antillensis.
