Answer: ... in the UVB light exposure.

Explanation: When DNA is exposed to UVB radiation, thymine bases that are close to each other in the genetic sequence bond together, and this bond <u>cannot be copied</u> by the enzimes responsible for reproducing the genetic material. In the skin, it causes sunburns and stimulates the production of melanin. Luckily, DNA is only damaged by 0,1% of those UVB radiation photons, but even this percentege is enough to cause a sunburn anyway.

A scientist discovers a new organism that is related to clownfish. What can the scientist discover by using molecular clocks?
Margaret [11]

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.
