Which of these statements is true about DNA and evolution?

• Two species that have the same DNA provide evidence that evolution has taken place.

• Two species with very similar DNA likely evolved from a common ancestor.

• Each living species has DNA made from different ingredients, showing that organisms have evolved.

• DNA from related species is identical, providing evidence that all organisms have evolved in the same way.
