The DNA of a lizard is more similar to a snake than a dog, as they are both reptiles. Reptiles share genetic similarities due to their evolutionary history and shared characteristics.
How comparative morphology support theory of evolution?
Look to the morphologies of all mammals and see rather easily how closely related they are in comparison to the more distantly related morphologies of all reptiles. Ancestral traits, such as tetropodal arrangement of limbs and then derived differences between mammals and reptiles. Reptiles having scales and mammals having hair.
