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.

What problems would you expect to observe in an ecosystem without producers? Be sure to answer this question in paragraph form u
Cloud [144]

The producers are the main source of the food production in the ecosystem. The producers are the organism, which convert the energy from the sunlight into the chemical energy. The consumers use this chemical energy for carrying out the metabolic processes in their body.

Without producers, the consumers cannot obtain their energy. Hence, the ecosystem without any producer would not survive.
