Ascientist discovers a new organism that is related to clownfish. what can the scientist discover by using molecular clocks? the date that the organism first appeared in the fossil record the age of the organism the amount of time that the two species have been evolving apart the number of years that fish have existed

The answer is the amount of time that the two species have been evolving apart.

Molecular clocks use rates of mutation to measure evolutionary time. This technique is based on the fact that mutations add up at a fairly constant rate in the DNA of species that evolved from a common ancestor. The more mutations that happened in each lineage, the greater is the differences between these lineages and vice versa. So, molecular clocks can tell the amount of time that new organism and clownfish have been evolving apart.

Answer would be C -  the amount of time that the two species have been evolving apart

condensation. good luck!

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.
