DUE TODAY
You will create a molecular clock model for an arthropod gene. Follow these guidelines to make your model:
Your timeline will span from 90 million years ago to the present. The common ancestor in your model is an arthropod that lived 90 million years ago. The gene that you’ll track codes for a protein in the species’ venom.
The DNA sequence you’ll track contains 10 nitrogen bases. You can choose the order of the bases and where the mutations occur.
This gene mutates at a rate of approximately 0.76 base pairs every 17.1 million years. To build your model, calculate the estimated time period it takes for 1 base pair to mutate.
The first time period will only show the common ancestor. At the beginning of the second time period, three lineages will diverge from the common ancestor, each with a different mutation in their gene sequences.
The first and third descendant species will survive for the rest of the timeline. The second descendant species was extinct 50 million years ago.
Calculate how long it will take for one full base pair mutation to occur. Explain your reasoning by constructing a mathematical equation.

How do water’s relative densities as a solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substances? water’s solid and liquid forms have different densities, while most other substances have solid and liquid forms with similar densities. water’s solid and liquid forms have similar densities, while most other substances have solid and liquid forms with different densities. water’s liquid form is less dense than its solid form, while the opposite is true of most other substances. water’s solid form is less dense than its liquid form, while the opposite is true of most other substances.

Which of the following statements is correct in hour our immune system responds to a potential pathogen? a. the adapted immune system will call on the innate immune system to destroy the pathogen. b. b cells will start reading the antigen code immediately and call t cells to assist in destroying the pathogen. c. the skin will be the first line of defense, and then the many phagocytes in the bloodstream will attempt to consume the possible pathogen. d. the t-cells in the adapted immune systems are the first to recognize the pathogen vaccines are weakened forms of disease causing microorganisms, which are given to patients to prevent disease. after the vaccine is administered, the immune system responds by creating a(n) to recognize the a. antigen, antibody b. antibody, antigen c. antibody, antibiotic d. antibiotic, antibody
