B)Some of the organisms depicted by the tree had lived in different habitats.

E)Relationships between DNA sequences among the species did not match relationships between skeletal patterns.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA sequencing is considered one of the most accurate ways of detecting evolutionary relationships between organisms. Therefore, if the relationships between DNA sequences do not match the relationships depicted by the evolutionary tree (which is based on physical characteristics), it casts the most doubt on the accuracy of the evolutionary tree.
