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.

Identify the inheritance mode of each condition by using the labels to complete the table. labels can be used once, more than on
yan [13]
Since no table is given, I will explain how genes are inherited. After Mendel’s discoveries were accepted, scientists realized that traits passed to offspring were the result of genes being passed from parents to offspring. This is an example of the law of inheritance. The genes that are passed down from the parents are being shared by the offspring. It can be shown if the trait is recessive or dominant from the parents’ gene. <span>Chromosomes are inherited from the parents. One chromosome from each of 23 pairs came from each of the parents. The two chromosomes of a pair (except for the sex chromosomes) contain the same genes, but the genes have small differences. The X and Y Chromosomes determine the organism’s sex. One chromosome pair - the sex chromosomes - is unique. Typically females have two X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y. Mothers always pass an X chromosome on to their children. Whether the father passes on his X chromosome (leading to a pair of X chromosomes) or his Y chromosome (making a mixed set) determines your sex. </span>
