<u>Answer:</u>
<em>In highly diverged lineages, the substitutions process will occur at sites that have been substituted previously</em>.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Molecular clock uses the mutation rate to reduce the time in prehistory when the life forms are diverged. <em>The molecular clock uses the sequence of amino acids and nucleotide sequence for the DNA.</em>
This clock does not measure any time but the number of mutations, and other changes over certain time. <em>Sometimes its useful property might be limited due to the highly diverged lineages.</em>
The bond formed between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of an adjacent nucleotide is a covalent bond. A covalent bond is the sharing of electrons between atoms. A covalent bond is stronger than a hydrogen bond (hydrogen bonds hold pairs of nucleotides together on opposite strands in DNA).

The plant contains vascular tissue and has an alternation of generation. But, it lacks seeds. So, the plant is a Pteridophyte.
- Vascular tissues are absent in thallophytes and bryophytes. They are found in pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms.
- The sporophyte and gametophyte generation is common in bryophytes and pteridophytes.
- Seeds are produced in plants that come under the group gymnosperms and angiosperms. The presence of seeds is the main characteristic of these groups.
- Thallophytes, bryophytes and pteridophytes lack seeds. The reproduction in plants that comes under these groups occurs with the help of spores.
Thus, the recently discovered species of the plant should be classified based on the presence of vascular tissues, gametophytes and sporophytes. As pteridophytes contain vascular tissues, sporophytes and gametophytes and lack seeds, the plant is a pteridophyte
