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: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The process in which sediment moves downhill is known as mass movement.
Different types of mass movement are landslides, mud slides, slump, creep etc.
Mud flow contains mass of saturated rock particles of all sizes. Mud flow arises due to sudden flood of water or due to heavy rain in a dry region (semi-arid region). Soil and rocks from a large slope area flow along with the flood water and gets washed to a gulch or canyon.
As a result, debris and water moves down canyon and lay out on the gentle slopes below.
Thus, we can conclude that mud flow is most likely facilitates mass movement after heavy rains in a dry region.
The answer is statement #3.
2H₂₍g₎ + O₂ ₍g₎→ 2H₂O
138 mol H₂ × (2 mol H₂O ÷ 2 mol H₂)= 138 mol H₂O
64 mol O₂ × (2 mol H₂O ÷ 1 mol O₂)= 128 mol H₂O
128 mol H₂O
Answer:
Sodium
(Na)
Just count the electrons and search which atom it is.
