Answer;

C) the amount of time that the two species have been evolving apart

Explanation;

-Scientists can use relaxed-clock methods to deal with variation in the rate of the molecular clock. By measuring the patterns of evolutionary rate variation among organisms, they can also gain valuable insight into the biological processes that determine how quickly the molecular clock ticks.

- The molecular clock hypothesis states that DNA and protein sequences evolve at a rate that is relatively constant over time and among different organisms. A direct consequence of this constancy is that the genetic difference between any two species is proportional to the time since these species last shared a common ancestor.

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Change occur in the genetic makeup.

Explanation:

Brian means that the change occur in the genetic makeup of the mitochondrial DNA that change the structure as well as the function ability of mitochondria which is responsible for the generation of energy for the cell. The mitochondrial DNA are passed from mother to offspring through the egg cell. He signify mitochondrial DNA because the change occur only in the mitochondrial DNA not in the whole organism's DNA.
