Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following evidence does NOT indicate a common ancestor between organisms of different species?
A
molecular homology
B
vestigial structures
C
analogous structures
D
homologous structures
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Evidence of a common ancestor for all of life is reflected in the universality of DNA as the genetic material, in the near universality of the genetic code, and in the machinery of DNA replication and expression. In general, the relatedness of groups of organisms is reflected in the similarity of their DNA sequences.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fossils, anatomy, embryos, and DNA sequences provide corroborative lines of evidence about common ancestry, with more closely related organisms having more characteristics in common. DNA underlies the similarities and differences in fossils, anatomy, and embryos.
