The phylogenetic tree illustrates the relationship between humans and our closest living relatives. The tree was based on biochemical comparisons, including DNA and amino acid sequences.

According to the biomolecular data, we COULD infer that

Athe four organisms do not have a common ancestor.
Bhumans are more closely related to chimps than any other apes.
Cchimps are more closely related to gorillas than they are to humans.
Dthere is no evidence if any relationship between the four branches on the tree.

Verified Answer :

it's B i got it right so thats how i know

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Based on the biomolecular data represented by the phylogenetic tree, we could infer that humans are more closely related to chimps than any other apes. The tree indicates that there was a common ancestor (the V at the base). Because the human branch is closest to the chimp branch, we can infer that humans are closely related to chimps. The tree does not give enough evidence to allow us to say that chimps are more closely related to gorillas than humans.
