Question

Scientists routinely explore whether two different animal species have evolved from a recent common ancestor. _______________ is the LEAST useful technique to help with this determination.
a. Analysis of strands of DNA
b. Comparisons of bones and muscles
c. Comparisons of items eaten for food
d. Studies of embryos during development

Answer 1

The least useful technique in the study is C. Comparisons of items eaten for food.

It isn't considered an important factor in determining the similar characteristics of species, especially in terms of genetic makeup.

Answer 2
