Question

Would you expect the DNA of crocodilians to be more similar to the DNA of modern birds or the DNA of turtles? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

The DNA of crocodilians would be more similar to the DNA of modern birds. The diagram indicates that the common ancestor of crocodilians and modern birds was more recent than the common ancestor of crocodilians and turtles.

Answer 2

I would say turtles because of they have more common features and similar environments.
