APFIVE Molecular Clock and Species Divergence
How does the molecular clock hypothesis contribute to our understanding of evolutionary timelines?
A
It suggests that genetic changes accumulate at a relatively constant rate, allowing estimation of divergence times between species.
B
It demonstrates that evolution occurs in sudden, clock-like bursts rather than gradually.
C
It shows that genetic changes only occur at specific, predetermined time intervals.
D
It proves that all species evolve at exactly the same rate.
