Explanation:

Question 5

To determine which is more closely related to a wild turkey (a bird), we analyze the groups: leatherback sea turtle is a reptile (non - bird reptile), and American alligator is also a reptile. But among reptiles, crocodilians (like American alligator) and birds (like wild turkey) share a more recent common ancestor than turtles and birds. This is based on evolutionary relationships where crocodilians and birds are part of the Archosaur group, while turtles are more distantly related to birds.

Answer:

American alligator
