Sagot :
The correct statement about the elephant species will be: B) Species X and Y share a high number of homologies with each other than either does with species Z.
Species is the smallest hierarchical level in the classification system of organisms. Organisms belonging to the same species group show high similarities with each other. The next higher level to species is genus. The species coming under the same genus also show similarities as compared to the species of other genus.
Homology refers to the similarity in the anatomy of the organisms. However they can have different functions according to their adaptations.
The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:
Currently two extant elephant species (X and Y) are classified in the genus Loxodonta, and a third species (Z) is placed in the genus Elephas. Thus, which statement should be true?
A) Species X and Y are not related to species Z.
B) Species X and Y share a greater number of homologies with each other than either does with species Z.
C) Species X and Y share a common ancestor that is still extant (in other words, not yet extinct).
D) Species X and Y are the result of artificial selection from an ancestral species Z.
E) Species X, Y, and Z share a common ancestor, but nothing more can be claimed than this.
