Formation of the Earth's Atmosphere. The early Earth was very different from our Earth today. The early Earth experienced frequent impacts from asteroids and meteorites and had much more frequent volcanic eruptions. There was no life on Earth for the first billion years because the atmosphere was not suitable for life.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>In highly diverged lineages, the substitutions process will occur at sites that have been substituted previously</em>.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Molecular clock uses the mutation rate to reduce the time in prehistory when the life forms are diverged. <em>The molecular clock uses the sequence of amino acids and nucleotide sequence for the DNA.</em>
This clock does not measure any time but the number of mutations, and other changes over certain time. <em>Sometimes its useful property might be limited due to the highly diverged lineages.</em>
Scientists are preserving the DNA for research.
<span>Not every member of a particular species (one kind of organism) must be able to reproduce in order for the species to survive. If you take homo sapiens for example (Humans) there are many males and females around the world who are sterile and unable to reproduce, yet you still see the human species flourishing. </span>
