A or C A or G C or G C or T Correct

Explanation

C or t is correct for six different species of centipedes in Hartl and Clark because phylogenetic trees display relationships. In six different species of centipedes represented ending ancestor p formula involving species of centipedes represented by from Hartl and. Alternatives A or C, A or G fail for six different species of centipedes because they describe unrelated mechanisms for. Reference Hartl and Clark explains six different species of centipedes with C or T using figures that simplify species of.
