Answer:

Because of their property of preciseness and rhythmic repetitions like a normal clock sequence...

Step-by-step explanation:

Evolutionary biologist use these neutral polymorphisms as molecular clock because of their gradual accumulation of mutations that remain on changing gradually in a uniform sequence overlarge number of generations. These changing sequences are highly precise over and over, that's why these are also termed as neutral mutations.
