These terms represent the stages that occur in alternation of generation. Alternation of generation describes the process in the life of some eurkaryotes [mostly plants and protists], it refers to the alternation in form which occur in these organisms. One form is usually diploid with 2n chromosomes, this is called the sporophyte while the other form is haploid with only one set of chromosomes and it is called the gametophyte.
The spores go through mitosis and produce gametophyte, the gametophyte produce gamete. Two gametes fuse together to become a zygote.<span />
It is a membranous network found in the cytoplasm. The surface for chemical activity in a cell is the endoplasmic reticulum.
Answer:
The correct answer would be 30 million years.
The molecular clock is a technique used to determine the time when the two species diverged from a common ancestor. It uses the mutation rate to determine the same.
Mutation rate is the rate at which a number of mutations take place in a given unit time.
For example, the mutation rate in a given question is one mutation per 10 million years, that is, one nucleotide is mutated in 10 million years.
If we compare the DNA sequence of the given two species, we would find that three mutations have taken place.
Species A: CTTAAGCTAGTAAGGACC
Species B: CATAAGTTAGTAAGGTCC
Thus, 30 million years would have passed to evolve three mutations.
Hence, they must have shared a common ancestor around 30 million years ago.
