What makes ribosomal RNA useful as a molecular clock? (2 points) A large portion of the DNA ring is not vital to structure or function, allowing it to accumulate neutral mutations. Its rate of mutation increases over time as organisms continue to evolve and differentiate from each other. A slow mutation rate makes it useful for determining evolutionary relationships between ancient species. It is only found in select organisms, making it easier to compare relationships between species that have it.

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. in some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. if these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. this would be an example of the founder effect artificial selection genetic drift natural selection sexual selection
