Imagine that you have the DNA sequences fromthe intron of a gene in three species called A, B,and C. Species A and B are most closely related,while C is more distantly related. The sequencesof A and B differ by 18 base pairs, A and C differby 26 base pairs, and B and C differ by 28 basepairs. Fossils show that species A and B divergedabout 1.2 Mya, but there is no fossil evidence asto when the most recent common ancestor ofall three species lived. Use the genetic data toestimate that date. What assumptions are youmaking to get this estimate?
Scientists know that the last common ancestor between chimpanzees and humans lived 5-7 million years ago because: O It lived shortly after the disappearance of the dinosaurs at 10 million years ago. O The carliest hominins were found in woodlands The time the last common ancestor existed can be calculated by comparing chimpanzee and human DNA and using a "molecular clock" O Chimpanze fossils first appear in the fossil record 10 million years ago
Taphonomy tells us ab0ut preservati0n biases in the fossil rec0rd. What kind of biases affect 0ur understanding 0f the large animals 0f the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous? (a short list with explanations or 2-3 short paragraphs) need help asap, thank you in advance
