Question
![**Quiz: Understanding Evolutionary Relationships**
When DNA sequence data became widely available, it was revealed that (select all that apply):
- [ ] Plants, animals, and fungi are nested within the protist tree of life.
- [ ] Plants, animals, and fungi are protists.
- [ ] Plants are more closely related to animals than to fungi.
- [x] Fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants.
**Explanation:**
Extensive DNA sequencing has significantly advanced our understanding of the evolutionary relationships between different groups of organisms. It has clarified that while plants, animals, and fungi are all eukaryotes, fungi are actually more closely related to animals than to plants. This has major implications for the study of biology, ecology, and evolution.
