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:

linker DNA

Explanation:

the classic beads on a string structure is termed as the nucleosome; which is the most basic level of chromosome packaging. the nucleosome is made up of 2 molecules each of the four histone proteins (H2A, H2B, H3, H4) to form an octamer around which a length of DNA is wrapped. linkage of this nucleosome to another nucleosome is done by a length of linker DNA and a linker histone (H1). thus experimentally to produce this structure, the linker DNA between two nucleosomes is degraded by nucleases to extract the structure. thus the linker DNA is not retained after the experiment.

Radda [10]

Twin Studies-genetic-the answer is true, according to quizlet -> The rationale for twin studies is that both identical and fraternal twins normally develop under similar environmental conditions. However, identical twins share more genetic kinship than fraternal twins. So if pairs of identical twins are more similar in intelligence than fraternal twins, it's presumably because of their greater genetic similarity.
And these studies do show that on average, identical twins are more similar than fraternal twins.

Answer:

Evolution is not the same as adaptation or natural selection. Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution. Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations.
