The correct answer would be the first option.

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

This is an advantage of which map projection? They are similar to the actual spherical surface of the globe.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Azimuthal map projections

Explanation:

The Azimuthal map projections come in a circular shape. They represent the whole world but in a different manner than that of the other map projections. The other map projections tend to have problems with the size of the objects as they get further away from the Equator, but this map projection doesn't have that problem. The Azimuthal map projections actually represent all of the places on Earth with their correct distances from the central point, and they all have their sizes correct proportionally to the scale, thus making an accurate map projection.
