Answer:

The amount of time that the 2 species have been evolving apart.

Explanation:

A molecular clock is a figurative term that refers to a technique that uses the mutation rate of biomolecules in order to deduce the time when two different but related life forms started to diverge. In this case, we know that the new organism is related to clownfish, and we would like to know when the two species began to evolve apart.

Agar is an important component of media because A. bacteria require agar to grow.
Alik [6]

C. Agar provides a solid surface for bacterial growth.

Agar is a substance obtained from red algae which when added to a culture media, provides a solid surface for the growth of bacteria. When the agar is not added then the culture media remains as the broth and when the agar is added then the broth gets solidified.

Agar is added 1.5-2% in the broth to get solidified. The growth of the bacteria depends on the amount of agar added. Agar is used for the growth of bacteria because it has gel like properties which holds the nutrients evenly and the bacteria can use it accordingly.
