The fossil record is the type of evidence that is used with molecular clocks to estimate the split from a common ancestor.

<h3>What is a molecular clock?</h3>

A molecular clock is an estimation of the times of divergence used for the study of biological phenomena.

Molecular clocks are based on fossils found for a given species and the mutation rate of a given genomic sequence.

In conclusion, fossils are used as point of reference to build molecular clocks based on the mutation rate of homo-logous nucleotide sequences for a given taxonomic group for which these fossils belong.

Which activity causes the least amount of wetland and estuary degradation when it occurs near the coast?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The activity which causes the least amount of wetland and estuary degradation when it occurs near the coast is:

A. dune grass rehabilitation

Explanation:

This is actually a rehabilitation effort, unlike the other three options that cause land degradation.  A dune grass rehabilitation accretes sand and minimizes the rates of beach erosion. The program tries to protect coastal infrastructure and upland properties from storm damage by planting vegetation, fencing off sensitive areas, blocking storm surge, creating dune walkways, and absorbing wave energy.  During dune grass rehabilitation, activities that adversely affect the dunes are avoided.

Which of these statements would be true if the water molecule was linear instead of bent? Check all that apply.
zavuch27 [327]

If the water molecule was linear instead of bent, water would no longer produce hydrogen bonds. It will lose its polar properties and nearly all of its properties will change such as boiling point, water tension and solubility. It would be closer to gas, rather than liquid.
