<u>-to determine how long ago two species of animals shared an ancestor</u>
<u></u>
The molecular lock describes a method which utilizes mutation rates for DNA over time, to determine the divergence of two species sharing common ancestry,due to evolution. Along with genetic drift, selective mating and natural selection, evolution may occur within populations due to spontaneous heritable changes to DNA, called mutations, over time.
Further Explanation:
During reproduction, other events, such as crossing over during mitosis and meiosis, mutations lead to increases in genetic variation. This variation refers to the genetic characteristics present within a species. Mutations may be either beneficial or deleterious; they are maintained within cells, as they form new traits called alleles. Beneficial mutations may confer traits that increase the fitness of a species, along with ensuring survival by conferring a protective advantage- these phenotypic differences between organisms are called adaptations.
Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.

Answer:
When a substance is heated, it gains thermal energy. Therefore, its particles move faster and its temperature rises. When a substance is cooled, it loses thermal energy, which causes its particles to move more slowly and its temperature to drop.
Answer:
Mass = 279.23 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of Fe₂O₃ = 3 mol
Number of moles of Al = 5 mol
Maximum amount of iron produced by reaction = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Fe₂O₃ + 2Al → Al₂O₃ + 2Fe
Now we will compare the moles of iron with Al and iron oxide.
Fe₂O₃ : Fe
1 : 2
3 : 2×3 = 6 mol
Al : Fe
2 : 2
5 : 5 mol
The number of moles of iron produced by Al are less so Al is limiting reacting and it will limit the amount of iron so maximum number of iron produced are 5 moles.
Mass of iron:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 5 mol × 55.845 g/mol
Mass = 279.23 g
