Andru [333]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: A. The genes encode resistance to antibiotics.

D. The genes are carried on plasmids

F. The "clock"genes are highly mobile between species.

Explanation:

Molecular clock is a tool that is used to calculate the time of the evolutionary events. These are the gene sequences that are used to determine the evolutionary distance between the new and primitive organisms developed on earth. It also measures the random changes just like mutation. Thus the molecular clock is also called as the gene clock or evolutionary clock.

The accuracy of the molecular clock can be increased by the genes that encode for a resistance against the antibiotics, the genes that are carried on the plasmids and the clock genes which are highly mobile among the species.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

chemical change.

Explanation:

There are two types of changes in matter: physical change and chemical change.

physical change- it is a change in matter that alters only its physical properties or its physical appearance. This type of change is reversible. For example- freezing of water, the water turns into solid ice and it can be reversed by melting the ice.

chemical change- it is a change in matter that alter its chemical and thus its physical properties. Most chemical changes are irreversible. for example- burning of paper, results in black soot and ashes- Thus changing both physical and chemical properties.
