O By analyzing the fossil record alone, you could be able to devise a phylogeny about Rana frogs and other related common ancestors. Estimate the relatedness among organisms primarily by counting the number of differences in DNA sequences and the anatomy of their fossil ancestors. O Count the number of nucleotide sequences if a mutation occurred. O Rana frogs are unique to each other and there is no absolute significant relationship among this group of organisms.
