The molecular clock tracks down nucleotide sequences for DNA or amino acids that contain sequences of proteins. Scientists use this to deduce the time in history where life forms possibly have diverged. This technique is also known as a gene clock or an evolutionary clock.
Answer:
E) Both Bacillus and Clostridium.
Explanation:
Bacterial endospores production is part of its survival mechanism. Bacteria produces these highly resistant spores that lies dormant in vegetative state, used during unfavourable and stressful environmental conditions. They are produced by gram positive bacteria such as Bacillus and Clostridium, and can lay dormant for years. Endospores are non-reproductive structures resistant to radiations, starvation and chemical disinfectants.
