Question

question 13
which type of evidence shows the genetic similarities between species?
○ homologous structures
○ radiometric dating
○ comparative anatomy
○ biochemical evidence

Explanation:

• Homologous structures show structural similarities due to common ancestry but not directly genetic similarities.
• Radiometric dating is used to determine the age of fossils and rocks, not genetic similarities.
• Comparative anatomy focuses on physical structure similarities, not genetic.
• Biochemical evidence (like DNA sequences, protein similarities) directly shows genetic similarities between species as DNA is the genetic material.

Answer:

Biochemical evidence
