Molecular clocks use mutations to estimate evolutionary time. They can calculate how many
years ago a particular species diverged from an ancestor, and there by it tells whether the species
are closely related or not because the rates will be constant in related species. Mitochondrial
DNA is used to study closely related species whereas ribosomal RNA is used to study distinctly
related species.
