Hi everyone here, we have a question that says the higher the similarity between two sequences, the blank, the probability that they originated independently from each other and the Blank the probability that they are closely related. So our two sequences are highly similar, which means that the lower probability that they originated independently, meaning that they probably have a common ancestor. And the higher the probability that they are closely related. So our answer here is be lower higher the higher the similarity between two sequences, the lower the probability that they originated independently from each other and the higher the probability that they are closely related. Thank you for watching. Bye.
