Why are molecular clocks important in the construction of cladograms? they compare the frequency of reproduction to determine which traits evolved through mutations. they compare the genes inherited by a species to determine descendants. they compare the number of mutations to determine how long ago species separated and evolved?

They compare the number of mutations to determine how long ago species separated and evolved.

Explanation:

Molecular clocks compares the total number of different nucleotides present in genome of two organisms to estimate the time of their divergence from each other. The average rate at which the specific gene evolves tells about the dates of evolutionary branch points. In this way, the molecular clocks compare the number of mutations to determine how long ago species separated and evolved.

a adaptation is when organism changes itself to fit the environment

ex. when its cold outside i wear a jacket

hello everyone my name is nevaeh, i know everyone needs in some way, shape, or form and i am willing to provide. i set up a google classroom where people can ask me questions and get on work. no question is a stupid question so do not be afraid to ask. i usually only focus on core subjects but if you ask i will with other specialized subjects. i can do essays all the way to power points : )

my google classroom is the code is 7hr2k4

~ use this opportunity to get more so you can thrive in the classroom
