<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>
- This can be done by<u> DNA sequencing which is the process of determining the accurate order of nucleotides within a DNA molecule</u>.
- By doing a DNA sequencing for the two sequences of DNA from the two species it will help compare the number of random mutations which have occurred in a molecular clock in the two species - that is, seeing how different the sequences are.
- This will make it possible to infer how long ago the species diverged.
Species A: GTTGAGCTAGTATGGACC
Species B: GATAAGCTAGTAAGGTCA
These species differ in 5 nucleotides.
This number should be multiplied by the rate of mutations; that is;
5 × 15 million years =75 million years.
Vidence of common descent<span> of </span>living organisms<span> has been discovered by scientists researching in a variety of disciplines over many decades, demonstrating the </span>common descent<span> of all </span>life on Earth<span> developing from a </span>last universal ancestor<span>. This evidence constructs the theoretical framework on which evolutionary theory rests, demonstrates that </span>evolution<span> does occur, and is able to show the natural processes that led to the emergence of Earth's </span>biodiversity<span>. Additionally, this evidence supports the </span>modern evolutionary synthesis<span>—the current </span>scientific theory<span> that explains how and why life changes over time. Evolutionary biologists document evidence of common descent by developing testable predictions, testing hypotheses, and constructing theories that illustrate and describe its causes.

A single gene disorder is one that's known to be caused by a single gene. Multiple gene disorders, however, can be caused by multiple gene combinations and other factors. Dominant genes are always expressed in the offspring, while recessive genes are only expressed if the offspring recieves the recessive gene from both parents. Sex-linked genetic disorders occur most often in men, and are caused by a single-gene disorder gene being on the X chromosome but not the Y, so that the offspring needs only one recessive gene to have the trait/disorder.
Does this help? Any more questions?
