Answer:

The correct answer would be the first option.

Molecular clocks compare the nucleotide sequence of DNA or RNA between two species estimate the time they diverged from each other.

The number of mutation present in the nucleotide sequences of two specied provide this estimation.

The more the number of mutation the earlier they diverged from each other.

iren [92.7K]
The surface area to volume ratio of the cell decreases.
This decrease is due to the fact that the volume of the cell increases at a greater rate than the surface surrounding the cell, the cell membrane, increases. This change is also visible when we are blowing up a balloon. 

When considering the cell division, the ratio remains roughly the same. It is advantageous for the cell to preserve its surface area to volume ratio, since a higher ratio means that substances are able to diffuse into and out of the cell at a fairly higher rate.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The energy flow in the ecosystem decreases as it flows from one trophic level to the next trophic level. Only 10% of the energy will transfer to the next trophic level and the remaining energy is lost in the other metabolic process.

The energy flow in the case of the grassland can be shown by the trophic relationship of the organisms. The sun is the primary source of the energy that are absorbed by the plants through the photosynthesis process. The cattle acts as herbivores will consume the plants energy by directly feeding on them. The ranch should be protected from the other animals that feeds on cattle and they are known as carnivorves.
