KEY CONCEPT Molecular clocks provide clues to evolutionary history.

Molecular clocks use mutations to estimate evolutionary time. Mutations add up at a constant rate in related species. As more time passes, there will be more mutations. The longer 2 species are separated, the more mutations will have accumulated. Mutations add up at a fairly constant rate in the DNA of species that evolved from a common ancestor. Ten million years later— one mutation in each lineage Another ten million years later— one more mutation in each lineage The DNA sequences from two descendant species show mutations that have accumulated (black). The mutation rate of this sequence equals one mutation per ten million years. DNA sequence from a hypothetical ancestor

Scientists estimate mutation rates by linking molecular data and real time. an event known to separate species the first appearance of a species in fossil record

Mitochondrial DNA and ribosomal RNA provide two types of molecular clocks. Different molecules have different mutation rates. mtDNA: higher rate, better for studying closely related species rRNA: lower rate, better for studying distantly related species

Mitochondrial DNA is used to study closely related species. DNA only found in mitochondria mutation rate ten times faster than nuclear DNA passed down unshuffled from mother to offspring grandparents parents child Nuclear DNA is inherited from both parents, making it more difficult to trace back through generations. Mitochondrial DNA is passed down only from the mother of each generation,so it is not subject to recombination. mitochondrial DNA nuclear DNA

Ribosomal RNA is used to study distantly related species. RNA that makes up ribosomes many conservative regions lower mutation rate than most DNA
