Measures time from random changes (mutations) 
Tasya [4]3 years ago

They are measuring the time that two species have been evolving independently.

A molecular clock is a method that is used by scientists to estimate the time that two species evolve separately using the knowledge of the DNA differences. To carry out this method, scientists use (i) an estimate of the number of genetic mutations that occur between two closely related species and (ii) the average genetic mutation rate to estimate the time in prehistory when the two species split.

Protozoans are the only organisms that can convert nitrogen from the air into chemical compounds that plants can use.
tigry1 [53]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Protozoans are not the organism that fix nitrogen for the plants. The organism that fix nitrogen to convert it into a form which can be used by plants are known as diazotrophs.

These are bacteria and archae that fix nitrogen gas found in the atmosphere into more usable form such as ammonia.

These organism can grow without any external source of fixed nitrogen. Example: Rhizobia and azospirillium.

A species that is not native to a particular region
siniylev [52]

Answer:

A species that is not native to a particular region is called an <u>invasive species. </u>

Explanation:

In ecology, invasive species can be described as species which are introduced into an environment. These species are not native to the environment.

Introduction of invasive species in an environment can destroy a stable ecosystem. The invasive species will compete for resources like food, shelter, water etc. They might cause the extinction of the species on which they start feeding.  They might fight with predators feeding on the same prey.
