If identifying a species is so complicated , what is the point? What is the benefit of identifying an organism's species ?

How does the molecular clock work? a. it analyzes the brain functionality of two different species. b. it examines and compares the physical characteristics of two different species. c. it illustrates relationships between two different species. d. it compares the number of mutations that exist in the dna of two different species.

How is ribosomal rna useful as a molecular clock? a. a large portion of the dna ring is not vital to structure or function, allowing it to accumulate neutral mutations. b. its rate of mutation increases over time as organisms continue to evolve and differentiate from each other. c. a slow mutation rate makes it useful for determining evolutionary relationships between ancient species. d. it is only found in select organisms, making it easier to compare relationships between species that have it.

Agene pool: a) is the collection of all the alleles found in a single species b) is the collection of all the alleles found in a single population c) is the collection of all the chromosomes found in a single population d) is the collection of genes in a species that allow the individuals to swim
