<u>-to determine how long ago two species of animals shared an ancestor</u>
<u></u>
The molecular lock describes a method which utilizes mutation rates for DNA over time, to determine the divergence of two species sharing common ancestry,due to evolution. Along with genetic drift, selective mating and natural selection, evolution may occur within populations due to spontaneous heritable changes to DNA, called mutations, over time.
Further Explanation:
During reproduction, other events, such as crossing over during mitosis and meiosis, mutations lead to increases in genetic variation. This variation refers to the genetic characteristics present within a species. Mutations may be either beneficial or deleterious; they are maintained within cells, as they form new traits called alleles. Beneficial mutations may confer traits that increase the fitness of a species, along with ensuring survival by conferring a protective advantage- these phenotypic differences between organisms are called adaptations.
Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.

Answer: Gunpowder
Explanation:
Gunpowder is made by mixing potassium nitrate with two fuels (atoms that can combine with oxygen atoms and release energy), carbon (charcoal) and sulfur. The oxygen atoms leave the nitrates and move onto the carbon and sulfur atoms, releasing a buttload of energy.
Answer:
9.1 mol
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:
CO (g) + 2H2 (g) → CH3OH (l)
According to the above balanced equation, 2 moles of hydrogen gas (H2) are needed to produce 1 mole of methanol (CH3OH).
To convert 36.7 g of hydrogen gas to moles, we use the formula;
mole = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of H2 = 2.02g/mol
mole = 36.7/2.02
mole = 18.17mol
This means that if;
2 moles of H2 reacts to produce 1 mole of CH3OH
18.17mol of H2 will react to produce;
18.17 × 1 / 2
= 18.17/2
= 9.085
Approximately to 1 d.p = 9.1 mol of methanol (CH3OH).
The element has 83 electrons
