Question

a scientist makes the argument that she has found dna evidence that shows that evolution does not exist. what would her evidence have to show for her to be correct? weak physical similarities among closely related organisms and also among distantly related organisms. strong genetic similarities in closely related organisms and weak genetic similarities in distantly related organisms. weak genetic similarities in closely related organisms and strong genetic similarities in distantly related organisms. strong physical similarities among closely related organisms and also among distantly related organisms.

Explanation:

Evolution is supported by genetic similarities: closely related organisms (sharing a recent common ancestor) should have strong genetic similarities, and distantly related organisms (sharing a more distant ancestor) should have weaker genetic similarities. To disprove evolution, the DNA evidence would need to contradict this pattern. So, weak genetic similarities in closely related organisms (going against the expected strong similarity) and strong genetic similarities in distantly related organisms (going against the expected weak similarity) would challenge evolution.

Answer:

The option: "Weak genetic similarities in closely related organisms and strong genetic similarities in distantly related organisms."
