Answer:

Atmosphere refers to the thin blanket of air that surrounds the earth.

It serves many important functions such as:

It contains a mixture of gases that are essential for the existence of life on earth. For example, carbon dioxide is essential for photosynthesis and oxygen is essential for cellular respiration.
It also serves as the reservoir of water in the form of water vapor. Thus, it forms an important constituent for the water cycle.
It maintains the temperature of the earth. Through the greenhouse effect, it maintains the temperature of the earth in limited ranges.
It protects the earth from harmful rays of the sun. For example, ozone inhibits the entry of most of the UV rays of the sun into the earth environment.

A molecule that can be used as a molecular clock has a neutral mutation rate of one mutation per 5 million years. How many years

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

20 million years

Explanation:

If we have a neutral mutation rate of one mutation per 5 million years, then the total of eight mutation between the two different species would be 20 million years. This is because both species will have 4 mutations in those 20 million years, so combined, both by 4, will have 8 mutations between them. So few mutations on so much time will result in two species that are very similar to each other even after 20 million years of evolution, even making them hardly distinguishable, especially if it comes to defining fossil records from them both. A nice example of this are the members of the felidae (cat) family, which are all very closely related, and are almost identical, thus making it extremely hard to distinguish two species of the same or similar size by their fossils.
