Part A
Answer: (A) Candida Albicans and Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
Explanation: They have the smallest difference in Cytochrome C
Part B
Answer: (B) The two species have high molecular homology
Explanation: Molecular homology means resemblances between species on the molecular level. Since the two species from the answer in Part A have the smallest difference in Cytochrome C it means they have high molecular similarities; this is due to evolving from the same common ancestor.
- (A) is not the right answer because the fungi in the table might all look similar but have different or similar genetic blueprints.
- (C) is not the right answer because fungi can reproduce sexually or asexually, so reproduction cannot help with determining relatedness.
- (D) is not the right answer because if the two species from the answer in Part A are closely related because they are both fungi, the answer for Part A should be all of the options.
