The percentage DNA similarities between species could be used to show the following:
(i) Similarities in protein synthesis
(ii) Evidence for evolution
(iii) Common ancestry

Which combination shows the CORRECT application of the use of similarities between species?
A. (i), (ii), and (iii)
B. Only (i) and (ii)
C. Only (ii) and (iii)
D. Only (i) and (iii)

Answer (2)

The correct application of DNA similarities between species primarily supports evidence for evolution and common ancestry, making option A (ii) and (iii) the right choice. While similarities in protein synthesis exist, they are not the primary focus of DNA percentage comparisons. Thus, understanding these relationships is crucial for evolutionary biology. ;
