Answer 1

C. Certain mutations in DNA happen at a constant rate.

humans and animals evolve to their environments.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option C

DNA is used in tracking the evolutionary changes as certain mutation in DNA happen at constant rate.

The DNA is used to to study the phylogenetic events that are not documented by the fossils.
