It is true that by calculating genetic distance, and using rate of change from molecular clock, researchers can estimate when two lineages diverged.

 

To add, genetic distance<span> is the term used to describe the number of differences or mutations between two sets of Y-chromosome DNA or mitochondrial DNA test results. Having zero genetic distance equates to having an exact match and that there’s no differences in the two results presented. A lot of people mistakenly assume that genetic distance is the number of generations to a common ancestor, but that is NOT AT ALL what genetic distance means. Genetic distance can also be identified by how many a particular match’s mutation difference to the participant.</span>

MrRissso [65]
Babies typically do not show social smiles until four to six weeks of age.
Any smiling before that time, it may not be deliberate. It's usually only a sign that the baby is comfortable, either they just urinated or they just ate.

At first, the baby  smiles at every one but after several months, most babies save their smiles for people they know.

How are primary and secondary succession similar?
anzhelika [568]

Answer;

B. Both primary and secondary succession involve ecosystems recovering from a disruptive event.

Explanation;

-Primary succession occurs following an opening of a pristine habitat, for example, a lava flow, an area left from retreated glacier, or abandoned strip mine. In contrast, secondary succession is a response to a disturbance, for example, forest fire, tsunami, flood, or an abandoned field.

-Primary succession begins in barren areas, such as on bare rock exposed by a retreating glacier. Secondary succession follows a major disturbance, such as a fire or a flood.

The molecular sequence, or blueprint for a protein, is originally carried by which molecule? A) ATP B) DNA C) rRNA D) tRNA
qaws [65]
The molecular sequence, or blueprint for a protein, is originally carried by <span>DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. DNA and ribonucleic acid are nucleic acids; alongside proteins, lipids and complex carbohydrates, they are one of the four major types of macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life. Most DNA molecules consist of two biopolymer strands coiled around each other to form a double helix. </span>
