Question number 27 says which choice provides the best evidence for the 2 answer to the previous question.

There's the assumption that we're talking about in question 14 number 26, remember, was how genes associated with particular characteristics 15 in one species were associated with the same characteristics in other species. 16 So this quote doesn't really speak to that. 17 Um, question B or excuse me, 18 answer choice B refers to lines 57 to 58 that 19 is located here.
