Using this sample model as a guide, create a molecular clock model. Use the flowchart tools in your word processing program to make your model. Make sure the mutations are clearly visible in the strand. Consider using a different font color for the mutations. Use the Insert Image button to insert a screenshot of your model in the answer space provided sample: Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, report that the gene that codes for specific hemoglobin protein experiences mutations in its nitrogen bases. The mutations occur at a rate of 0.56 base changes every 1 billion years. If this rate stays consistent, the mutation rate can be used to determine when different lineages of a particular species split. This model gives an example of how a gene can act like a molecular clock. It shows the lineage of two species that diverged from a common ancestor. As the two species diverged, they experienced different mutations in the DNA sequence, as shown in the image.
