A scientist is trying to determine the relationship between clams, snails and squid.

answer:

sequence 1- deletion

                  2- duplication

                  3- insertion

                  4- substitute

                  5- inversion

answer: carbon 14 can only be used to determine the age of the organisms that were once living, and igneous rocks are non living.

explanation:

the correct answer is: b. pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.  

because involves two organisms (parents) whose genetic material combines, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in new generations of offspring. the offspring is an unique organism, with new genome, more protected with the higher ability to adapted. this process is fundamental to evolution.

mass and weight are closely related because mass affects the weight of an object experiencing the effects of gravity. weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an objects's mass, while mass is the measure of how much matter there is in an object.
