When comparing the sequences of a homologous gene in four

When comparing the sequences of a homologous gene in four different species one pair of species shows a 1 difference whereas the other pair shows a 3 difference Which pair diverged longer ago from their common ancestor and why 1 The pair with a 3 difference a larger difference 3 instead of 1 indicates that there has been more time to accumulate mutations 2 The pair with a 3 difference A larger difference 3 instead of 1 indicates that there has been less time to accumulate mutations 3 The pair with a 1 difference a smaller difference 1 instead of 3 indicates that there has been less time to accumulate mutations 4 The pair with a 1 difference a smaller difference 1 instead of 3 indicates that there has been more time to accumulate mutations
