What is the principle for dating materials using radioactive isotopes

Biology
1 answer:
nevsk [136]2 years ago
5 0

It is based on a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, using known decay rates.

<h3>How are isotopes used in radioactive dating?</h3>

These isotopes decay within the rocks according to their half-life rates, and by choosing the fit minerals and measuring the relative amounts of parent and daughter isotopes in them, the date at which the rock crystallized can be determined.

Thus, It is based on a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope.

These are nucleotides that have a single ring structure. Example: Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The question is incomplete.

However, I notice that your question is mainly dealing with

"Nucleotides with a single ring structure"

I tackled that part, also providing explanation to the point you focused on.

Explanation:

Nucleotides are compounds in which nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines) are conjugated to the pentose sugars (ribose or deoxyribose) and at least one phosphate group. Thus a nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, pentose sugar and at least one phosphate group.

Examples of the nitrogenous bases are Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Uracil and Cytosine. Of all, Thymine, Uracil and Cytosine are with single ring, while Adenine and Guanine are double ring structure.

If a hamster has 22 chromosomes in its somatic cells, how many chromosomes would it have in its gametes
amm1812
Normally a hamster has 44 chromosome in its body but since it’s cut in half which leaves it 22 chromosomes (as stated above) the answer will be 11 gametes
22 divided by 2 = 11

EXPLANATION:
The sperm of the father, when it fuses with the egg, the embryo has 22 chromosomes
To find the number of chromosomes for each gamete, divide the total number by two eggs. The egg and sperm have half of the genetic information for an embryo
