The molecular clock has limited usefulness for estimating divergence times among species in part due to the saturation of DNA se

quences. This occurs because
A. DNA sequences are unable to revert back to previous allelic states.
B. the variation in the substitution rate between closely related lineages prevents accurate estimation of divergence time.
C. variation in population sizes among lineages changes the effect of genetic drift.
D. in highly diverged lineages, substitutions will occur at sites that have been substituted previously

<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>

Describe the advantage of broad-leaved trees losing their leaves as winter sets in and the advantage of needle-leaved trees keep
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The advantage of shedding broad leaves in the winter is to conserve the energy that needs to expand in order to provide heat to each part of the plant including leaves as in winters it becomes very dry and cold. If they do not shed their leaves they have to spend more energy to spend energy on leaves.

Needles like leaves have a thick cuticle layer that prevents from losing water in dry conditions or conditions with a limited amount of water in the soil. These leaves also help in photosynthesis by capturing more sunlight as they have a larger surface area. These adaptions can live in poor soil, rain and snowy conditions.

In addition to helping the environment, renewable resources—such as solar power and hydroelectricity—may also provide an economi
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Renewable resources of energy are clean source of energy. They are sustainable as they are readily available, can be used again and again and do not produce any pollution neither during production stage nor during usage stage by an individual.  

There are very nations in the world which are oil rich and country itself has no oil reserve. In such scenarios, the dependency of nation on other countries increases. But in lieu to in-house renewable energy resources, country will not import oil from other nations  

Hence, option A is correct.
