Question:
What does the data given here suggest about the relationship between the species in the table?
▶️Answer/Explanation
Ans: Differences in base sequence:
Adoxophyes honmai to Diatraea saccharalis 41
Adoxophyes honmai to Ostrinia furnacalis 6
Adoxophyes honmai to Ostrinia nubilalis 13
Diatraea saccharalis to Ostrinia furnacalis 35
Diatraea saccharalis to Ostrinia nubilalis 38
Ostrinia furnacalis to Ostrinia nubilalis 17
So Diatraea honmai is most dissimilar in base sequence to the other three species; and is not closely related to any of them; the other three species are closely related to each other; as they have many similarities in base sequence.
