Answer:

Option C, DNA sequences from different species can be compared, giving us more information about their evolutionary relationships

Explanation:

Phylogeny is the study of evolution of species since ages and also working out inter species evolutionary relationship.

In molecular phylogeny the DNA and its structure is very essential to work out the evolution of species.

The information about the structural arrangement of genome, genetic mutation, difference in the nucleotide sequence etc, helps to establish a common ancestry relationship between two or more individual.

Since all the genetic information is carried by DNA, thus assessment of DNA helps to identify the common thread of evolution and in this way DNA is useful in phylogeny.

Drag the appropriate classes of matter into the boxes below to answer each question.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

As you can see in the picture presented below, the three classes of water have distinctive traits.
Pure substances contain only one element, they are not mixtures of different things.
The homogeneous mixtures have multiple elements, but they are so well blended together that you can't easily observe or separate them.
In heterogeneous mixtures, we can easily differentiate between different elements of the mixture.

What evidence for the age of the Earth is indicated by the fact that sedimentary rock is found on mountain tops? that the Earth

Ket [755]

The correct answer is - That some force lifted the rocks from the water.

The fact that there's sedimentary rocks on the tops of the mountains is an evidence that there has been some force that managed to lift upwards parts of the seafloor. Taking into consideration how slowly this force manages to lift up parts of the Earth, we can easily assume that the Earth is very old. The amount of time that is needed for a part of the seafloor to be lifted few thousand meters upwards is counted in tens of millions of years, thus giving us evidence that the Earth has been around for a very long time.
