Clams and squid have been evolving separately for a longer time than clams and snails.
Clams and squid have been evolving separately for a shorter time than clams and snails.
Clams and snails have more in common genetically than clams and squid.
Clams and snails are more similar in related structures than clams and squids.

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.

Question 22 (Essay Worth 3 points) (02.01 HC) A prediction of the theory of Plate Tectonics is that new volcanoes can form at th
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

What would be the expected result of the experiment?

For the drawing of the map part, the scientific will find that effectively, a very large number of volcanoes are located near the meeting points of tectonic plates. The volcanoes that aren't now at the edge of the plate were most probably at the moment of their formation, and were moved away by the movement of the plate.

But I doubt the scientist would be able to identify many new volcanoes, because the creation of a volcano isn't something happening overnight.

How would you interpret the results if the scientist observes no new volcanic activity?

I would say that does NOT invalidate the theory because the observation period is extremely short.  10 years is an insignificant amount of time geologically speaking... the study would have to be conducted over at least 1,000 years to maybe have some results at all.   Just imagine how many volcanoes there would be if a new one was created every 10 years along the side of a tectonic plate.

How do organisms grow​
aalyn [17]

Hello! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out on this amazing day. Organisms grow, but only certain organisms are capable of growing. The meaning of growing is "to get bigger/expand" and the way that multicellular cells grow is by making more cells. Plants also have special tissues called "Meristems" where the growing process happens. Single celled organisms (unicellular organisms) increase their numbers by "dividing" and making more cells like themselves.

I hope that this helps! :3
