Answer:

In biology, a molecular clock can be described as a method to determine the time for the divergence of species which occurred by the process of evolution.

Explanation:

The mutation rates of different molecules are used in this method. The mutation rates for DNA sequences and amino acid sequences are usually considered. The molecular clock can be used to compare and estimate the splitting of a lineage. For example, by this method, one can interpret when the chimpanzees and humans diverged from each other.

This question is incomplete. The options are:
<span>a. be choosy about which females they mate with.
b. be indiscriminant about which females they mate with.
c. mate with as many females as possible.
d. compete to mate with choosy females.
</span>
The answer is a: be choosy about which females they mate with. 
This is because the male would in this case be investing a lot of energy in parenting its young, and would therefore adopt a strategy of mating with one or very few females. It therefore makes sense that the male would be choosy in regards to its mate.
