Natural selection I believe. I might be wrong though

Comparative morphology _____.

compares the physical structure of organisms from different species
analyzes the development of an organism's offspring from birth to adulthood
disproves evolutionary theory because organisms do not have similar features
suggests that the more closely related two species, the less they will have in common

answer is genetic drift. It cant be natural selection because natural selection is when populations get killed or cant reproduce due to genetic quality they lack, which the fire does not select against the different genes
