Taxonomy- the classification of something, especially organisms.

Classify- arrange (a group of people or things) in classes or categories according to shared qualities or characteristics.

Binomial nomenclature- the scientific way to name living things with a two part generic (genus) and specific (species) name.

Kingdom- a country, state, or territory ruled by a king or queen.

Species- a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding. The species is the principal natural taxonomic unit, ranking below a genus and denoted by a Latin binomial, e.g. Homo sapiens.

Prokaryote- a microscopic single-celled organism which has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles, including the bacteria and cyanobacteria.

Eukaryote- an organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotes include all living organisms other than the eubacteria and archaea.

Heterotroph- an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.

Autotroph- an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.

Unicellular- having or consisting of a single cell.

Multicellular- composed of several or many cells.

Species a diverged from species b 60,000 years ago. On a particular gene, they have 15 nucleotide differences. How many nucleoti

a_sh-v [17]

The given question says that b species diverged around 60,000 year ago from species a. Since the divergence, they have a nucleotide difference of 15 nucleotide.

We need to find out the nucleotide difference in another 240,000 year, which means a total of 300,000 year since divergence.

The nucleotide difference in 60,000 years = 15 nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 1 year = $\frac{15}{60,000}$ nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = $\frac{15}{60,000}\times 300,000$ nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = 75 nucleotide.

Hence, after another 240,000 years or 300,000 years since divergence, the species and species b would show a difference of 75 nucleotide.

In another 240,000 years, there would be 60 nucleotide difference, as 15 of the nucleotide are already different in initial 60,000 years from the total of 75 nucleotide difference in 300,000 years. So, 60 (75-15) nucleotide difference would be observed in next 240,000 years.
