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.

Gene mapping for beak color and feather length in biology what is this
just olya [345]
I am not entirely sure about this. So maybe my response can help you find the answer a little better if my answer is not entirely right?

These last three questions are referring to everything you just worked on. So all you would have to do is refer back to your previous answers. Recall that the titles of the "part 1, 2, and 3" are titled "crossing beak color and tail-feather length", "crossing beak color and feather color", and "mapping tail-feather length and feather color".

1.List the distances between each pair of genes:
beak color and tail-feather length: 20 MU
beak color and feather color: 16 MU
tail-feather length and feather color: 4 MU

2.Which two alleles are the farthest apart?
(the one that is 20 MU apart) Y and L

3.Which two alleles are the closest together?
(the ones that are 4 MU apart) L and B

Describe the weather factors that are important in determining where plants and animals can exist in an area.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

rain is very important for life in certain areas, this is why you see little life in deserts and even they need rain occasionally. more rain will lead to more life, first, it will be the plants that move in, then once they grow, vegetation eaters will move in, then after that meat-eaters will move in to eat those creatures and the ecosystem will flourish.

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

C- Impair the ability to consider the consequences of acting impulsively

Explanation:

Alcohol consumption leads to an increase in the level of dopamine released in the brain, thus increasing pleasure. This increase in levels of dopamine can lead to impairment in reasoning and minor memory loss. With these factors, impulsive actions are more likely to occur. Aggressive behavior might eventually settle in, when euphoria eventually becomes depression.
