<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
C.) The number of differences in a specific DNA sequence of two species is multiplied by a known mutation rate to determine the number of years of evolution that separate the two species.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- Molecular clocks are used to date origin of species. They are based on the observation that random mutations accumulate in genes at a fairly constant rate
.
- Once a mutation rate is determined it can be used to establish dates of divergence of species.
- Molecular clocks can be used in putting a series of evolutionary events into chronological order, by comparing sequences from different species to determine when they last shared a common ancestor, in effect drawing the family tree.
A few hours. i think like 4-6 or so.
