What is the main idea behind the model of a molecular clock?
The molecular clock is used to estimate the time of occurrence of events called speciation and radiation. The molecular data used for such calculations is usually nucleotide sequence for DNA or amino acid sequences for proteins. In other words, a protein is known as a molecular clock because it changes over time.
Which method do scientists use to track evolutionary changes over time?
Scientists use phylogenic comparative methods to track evolutionary changes over time.
How does the geological time influence the theory of evolution?
Geological " deep " time gives ample time for evolutionary processes to occur.
What concept is central to all evolutionary theories regardless of their type?
I'm not sure what types of evolutionary theory the asker envisions when asking this question, but in any model of evolution, change over time would be a given.
As a group the large scale evolutionary changes that take place over long periods of time are called?
Macroevolution
What are molecule clocks?
Molecular Clocks- are models that use mutation rates to measure evolutionary time.
Biologists use molecular clocks to try to measure?
Generally, a molecular clock is used to describe the rate of molecular change over time that tells you when two species, or taxa, have diverged.
Do clocks measure space time energy or matter?
the measure time

What r clocks?
They are (not "r") instruments used to measure time.
What is used to measure time?
A clock, a watch, a sundial
Why should clocks measure time and not measure temperature?
Because thay were told to do so, or they were smashed with a hammer.
What was the original way to measure time?
Sun dials, calibrated candles, hourglasses, water drip 'clocks' and float/sink 'clocks' are a few.
What is Horology?
Horology is the science of measuring time and the art of making timepieces to measure time. The term is also used by antiques dealers to describe the collecting of clocks and watches.the study of the manufacture of clocks
Are clocks about time?
clocks tell you what time it is
How do Buddhist measure time?
The worldwide standard measures of time - seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, centuries- are used by Buddhists. They measure these by watches, sundials, clocks, and calendars.
Which system used to classify organisms has changed over time?
The system used to classify organisms that has changed over time is the taxonomic classification system. This system groups organisms based on their shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships. As scientific knowledge has advanced and new evidence has been discovered, the classification of certain organisms has been revised to better reflect their genetic, anatomical, and ecological relationships.
