when changes in a protein appear to accumulate at a constant rate over time is called option (c) i.e, Molecular clock.

<h3>What does molecular clock mean?</h3>

The term "molecular clock" refers to a method that estimates the time in prehistory when two or more life forms diverged by analyzing the mutation rate of biomolecules. Typically, nucleotide sequences for DNA, RNA, or amino acid sequences for proteins serve as the biomolecular data for these calculations.

Hedges, a biology professor at Penn State, claims that the molecular clock counts the mutations that accumulate through time in the gene sequences of various species rather than counting seconds, minutes, and hours.

Mutation and recombination, the two fundamental biological processes that give rise to all heritable variations, are the foundation of molecular clocks. Mutations are modifications to the genetic code of DNA, for as when the nucleotide Guanine (G) turns to Thymine (T).

How does increase in temperature disturb water cycle ?
Alja [10]
Climate change intensifies this cycle because as air temperatures increase, more water evaporates into the air. Warmer air can hold more water vapor, which can lead to more intense rainstorms, causing major problems like extreme flooding in coastal communities around the world.

What are the limitations of sending information using electromagnetic waves?
Shalnov [3]
Well, the range is more limited. Let's say if you tried listening to Denver radio all the way in Texas, you wouldn't be able to listen to it.

Another one is that other electromagnetic waves with similar frequencies can interfere with each other
