[QUOTE="Willby, post: 71928753, member: 403530"] To answer the OPs question about which plant we are 'closest to'?. From the evolutionary model point of view we are equally related to all extant plants as we and them share the same common ancestor. This would predict that genetic analysis should show the same (*) genetic distance to all plants. This prediction is consistant with the observed reality. As others have said Hovind choose the Tobacco plant to make his point as it has the same number of chromosomes as the non-human apes. Number of chromosomes is not in of itself a good indicator of close relatedness. The non-human apes with 48 chromosomes arn't considered closly related just because of this number but because those chromosome are homologous. * Not exactly the same, the nature of DNA, how it mutates, duplicated sections etc means there will be 'random' noise.
