What is an adaptation?

• Species changing over time.

• The environment favoring certain traits.

• Soecific traits that help an organism survive.

How does DNA show evolutionary reltaionships?

• The more similar base sequence means the less related the organisms.

• The more similar base sequence means the more related the organisms.

• The base sequence doesn't relate to evolutionary relationships.
