Final answer:

Molecular clocks help estimate divergence times between species using DNA sequences.


Explanation:

Molecular clocks are tools used by scientists to estimate how long it has been since related species diverged from a common ancestor. These clocks utilize DNA sequences or protein differences to measure divergence time, assuming mutations accumulate at a consistent rate. By comparing DNA sequences, scientists can determine the relatedness among species and the timing of divergence events.
