A scientist is trying to determine how closely related a moth species is to four other moth species. He examined the DNA of each species and compared it to the study subject. He then created this table. Species # of genetic differences Species A 12 Species B 3 Species C 14 Species D 28 Which species is most closely related to the original moth species? species A species B species C species D

Species B is the most similar to the original moth due to its lack of differences in DNA. We know that 12, 14, and 28 are all greater than 3 (and represent the amount of genetic differences), which makes B the only one with a high quantity of similarities.

I hope I helped!

Species B is the most similar to the original moth species and is denoted as option B.
