Suppose a geneticist sequences a specific gene region in two species, A and B, previously known to be closely related. He specifically wants to see which of the two species is closer to an ancestral species.
 
  The sequence comparison showed that this region in species B has an extra intron, unlike other near relatives, but that otherwise A and B are virtually the same for this region. Based on this data alone, he could reason that which species was more likely ancestral?
