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>

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Protein synthesis and the RNA synthesis is the total process that takes place together in each and every cell which is the Central Dogma theory.

In this theory, the RNAs are produced from the DNA by means of the process of transcription. In this process, the enzyme DNA dependent RNA polymerase acts as the primary DNA.

In the second step, the RNA produces the protein by the process of translation. This process involves the participation of each and every types of RNA like the rRNA, tRNA, and mRNA. These RNAs are all involved to form proteins by accumulation of amino acids and polymerizing them to form proteins.
