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.

In order to provide nutritional information about food, scientists must evaluate how many calories a given food has per serving
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

                 

Explanation:

I am the thing that goes bump in the night. The shadow-like figure all are too afraid to identify in their room. The silent stalker of your waking nightmares and lucid dreams. Do not worry, I can- but will not- hurt you. Your family, however, doesn't have such luck. Do not warn them that I will be following their every move, or it will lead to a grizzly fate for you and your bloodline. I hope that my message has given you closure for the events to come.

In the meantime, you can pray for your family. Maybe I'll have mercy.
