Answer:
20 million years
Explanation:
If we have a neutral mutation rate of one mutation per 5 million years, then the total of eight mutation between the two different species would be 20 million years. This is because both species will have 4 mutations in those 20 million years, so combined, both by 4, will have 8 mutations between them. So few mutations on so much time will result in two species that are very similar to each other even after 20 million years of evolution, even making them hardly distinguishable, especially if it comes to defining fossil records from them both. A nice example of this are the members of the felidae (cat) family, which are all very closely related, and are almost identical, thus making it extremely hard to distinguish two species of the same or similar size by their fossils.
The sets of alleles for each parent are Dm for the mother and DM, Dm, dM, and dm for the father. This information is fundamental for estimating genotype and allele frequencies in offspring.
<h3>What are alleles?</h3>
Alleles are gene variants for a given gene <em>locus</em>, diploid organisms inherit two alleles for each locus (one from each parent).
Gametes are germinal (haploid) cells that carry specific allele combinations.
The analysis of gamete combinations is fundamental to estimate genotypes and allele frequencies.

Answer: living things such as “human beings”, “animals”, “plants”, and “microorganisms”.. Nonliving things do no exhibit any characteristics
Explanation: Nonliving things do not grow,respire, need energy, move, reproduce, evolve, or maintain homeostasis. They are made up of non living materials
Answer:
<em>(I) Lamarckism or Theory of Inheritance of Acquired characters.</em>
This theory is based on the comparison between the contemporary species of Jean Baptiste de Lamarck's time to fossil records.
<em>(II) Darwinism or Theory of Natural Selection.</em>
Charles Darwin made an extensive study of nature for over 20 years, especially in 1831-1836 when he went on a voyage on the famous ship “H.M.S. Beagle” and explored South America, the Galapagos Islands and other islands.
<em>(III) Mutation theory of De Vries.</em>
The mutation theory of evolution was proposed by a Dutch botanist, Hugo de Vries (1848-1935 A.D.) in 1901 A.D. in his book entitled “Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation”. He worked on evening primrose (Oenothera lamarckiana).
<em>(IV) Neo-Darwinism or Modern concept or Synthetic theory of evolution.</em>
The detailed studies of Lamarckism, Darwinism and Mutation theory of evolution showed that no single theory is fully satisfactory. Neo-Darwinism is a modified version of theory of Natural Selection and is a sort of reconciliation between Darwin’s and de Vries theories.
