Question 11 Species A and species B have the following nucleotide sequence at a locus that is not under selective pressure: Species A: ACCTAGCTCAGAGTCCGGATACTGATCAGA Species B: AGCTAGCTCCGATTCCGGATACCGATCAAA Previous sequencing efforts at this locus for closely related species revealed a mutation rate of about 0.068% per million years, and you decide to use this for your study. Given the formula D=ut where D=% sequence divergence, µ=mutation rate, and t-time since divergence, how long ago did species A and species B diverge? A 2.45 mya B 0.024 mya 1.48 mya D 245 mya E 13.2 mya

Question
**Question 11** Species A and Species B have the following nucleotide sequence at a locus that is not under selective pressure: - Species A: ACCTAGTCTCAGATGCCGGATACTGATCAGA - Species B: AGCTAGTCTCGATTCCGGTACACCGATCAAA Previous sequencing efforts at this locus for closely related species revealed a mutation rate of about 0.068% per million years, and you decide to use this for your study. Given the formula \( D = \mu t \) where \( D \) = % sequence divergence, \(\mu\) = mutation rate, and \( t \) = time since divergence, how long ago did species A and species B diverge? - A) 2.45 mya - B) 0.024 mya - C) 1.48 mya - D) 245 mya - E) 13.2 mya
