Can you guys check my answer to this? I think its C but I'm not really sure. Could you please help? This is the question: The mitochondrial DNA sequence that is shared by two species has a steady mutation rate. Scientists determine the sequences of these two species to be as follows:



Species A: CAGGCCATTATG

Species B: CCAGCCTATAGG



This DNA sequence has a known mutation rate, which the scientists used to calculate that the species diverged from a common ancestor 80 million years ago. Using this information, how much more time do you predict will pass before these species differ by a total of eight base pairs?

A.) 160 million years

B.) 32 million years

C.) 48 million years

D.) 240 million years
