Eukaryotes that are not closely related and that do not share many anatomical similarities can still be placed together on the same phylogenetic tree by comparing their ______.

A. homologous genes that are highly conserved
B. homologous genes that are poorly conserved
C. mitochondrial genomes
D. plasmids

Respuesta :

Answer:

Homologous genes that are highly conserved.

Explanation:

Phylogenetic trees are diagrams that represent evolutionary relationship between organisms.

It is set to represent the hypothesis that a set of species evolved fro the same ancestor.

Anatomical similarities are considered in the construction of the trees.

However , two organisms can be placed in the same tree by comparing their  genes.

If the two eukaryotes have genes that are highly conserved that similar.
