Refer to the table. The table shows the divergence times (time since last common ancestor) between different species of butterflies and the numbers of changes that have occurred at two different genes.Graph the relationship between the divergence time and the number of changes in the gene for alcohol dehydrogenase.Explain why we can say that the gene is evolving as expected under the principle of the molecular clock?
