Which of the following correctly describes a common ancestorA A sequence of DNA that codes for proteinsB A species from which 2 or more recent species evolvedC class=


Answer :

In evolution, a common ancestor refers to a species or group of organisms from whom a group of organisms descends.

This term refers to a group that gave place to more groups, rather than individuals.

This means B) A species from which 2 or more recent species evolved, is the right answer
