The following phylogeny shows six living species (a-f) and five ancestral (now extinct) species (#1-5). If the phylogeny had been developed on the basis of similarities in bone structure, which of the following predictions would you make in terms of the structure of a particular enzyme?


#Section 2: Evolution
  1. The enzymes of species b and f are very similar.
  2. The enzymes of species b and c are more similar to ancestor #4 than to ancestor 2
  3. The enzymes of species a and b are the same as that of ancestor #2.
  4. The enzyme of species c is very similar to that of species d.
