Three species of tree have the following binomials: Carpodiptera africana, Commiphora africana,

Commiphora angolensis

Which two of these species do biologists consider to be the most closely related?

Explain your answer.

Commiphora africana, &

Commiphora angolensis

Explanation:

This is because they share the same genus names. Taxonomists use classification in biology to show the relationship between organisms. Species is the lowest rank while genus is just one rank above. Binomial nomenclature used Genus and Specie name in naming organisms.

This means that Commiphora africana, &Commiphora angolensis are closely related because they share the same genus name. They are like horses and donkeys than can interbreed but will not produce fertile offspring because they are still different species.
