explain the term “molecular clock” and describe the types of measurements and comparisons that can be made with this type of clock.

be sure to answer this question in paragraph form using complete sentences.

In biology, a molecular clock can be described as a method to determine the time for the divergence of species which occurred by the process of evolution. The mutation rates of different molecules are used in this method. The mutation rates for DNA sequences and amino acid sequences are usually considered. The molecular clock can be used to compare and estimate the splitting of a lineage. For example, by this method, one can interpret when the chimpanzees and humans diverged from each other.

it also supports my hypothesis. if you rest first you can squeeze the clothespin more times. from the data i collected the average of the eight people concluded exercise makes your muscles more fatigued and less able to squeeze the clothespin compared to resting before squeezing.

not necessarily. higher fitness requires the organism to be reproductive successful. for example, an organism at age 10 with 15 offspring is much more fit than an organism at age 15 with only 5 offspring.
