quences. This occurs because

<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>
