Answer:

The correct answer is the second statement.

Explanation:

The molecular clock refers to a procedure in molecular evolution that associate the time of divergence between the two species with the number of molecular differences determined between the sequences of DNA or proteins.  

The more genetically associated, the shorter will be the separation time between the two species. Due to this, as clams and squid are more closely associated it can be concluded that these species look more genetically identical, and have evolved distinctly for a brief time duration in comparison to the clams and snails.

How many covalent bonds would you expect a neutral carbon atom to form in an organic compound?
hoa [83]
The number of covalent bond an element can form depends on the number of electrons it has in its outermost shell (valence electrons). Carbon has four valence electrons, therefore, it can form maximum of four covalent bonds in an organic compound.

Answer:

The answer is

2. magnetism and fluorescence

Explanation:

The other properties mentioned are common properties that are used to identify all minerals. As you can see, hardness, color and fracture are common properties that cut across all minerals. Magnetism and fluorescence however, are not very common and are found in only a few special minerals. That is why they are considered special properties.

Hope this helps!
