Answer;
C) the amount of time that the two species have been evolving apart
Explanation;
-Scientists can use relaxed-clock methods to deal with variation in the rate of the molecular clock. By measuring the patterns of evolutionary rate variation among organisms, they can also gain valuable insight into the biological processes that determine how quickly the molecular clock ticks.
- The molecular clock hypothesis states that DNA and protein sequences evolve at a rate that is relatively constant over time and among different organisms. A direct consequence of this constancy is that the genetic difference between any two species is proportional to the time since these species last shared a common ancestor.
1.It is a universal solvent.
2Pure water is transparent, colourless and odourless.
3.Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity.
4.Water in a pure form has a neutral ph i.e 7 which means it is neither acidic nor basic.
B+ Bb Ww male × B+ Bb Ww female Because beardedness and coat color independently assort, we can treat them independently. The difference between this cross and a dihybrid cross is that the bearded allele B b is dominant in males and recessive in females. So we deal with male and female progeny separately. For each sex, then, we should get a typical dihybrid ratio. In males, the dominant phenotype is bearded, so we should get ¾ bearded, ¼ beardless. In females the dominant phenotype is beardless, so we should get ¾ beardless and ¼ bearded. Each sex will have ¾ black and ¼ white coats.
