Charcoal with a carbon-14 activity of 0.60 compared to new wood has less than 5,730 years.

<h3>What is a radioactive isotope?</h3>

A radioactive isotope is an element in nature that emit radioactivity in a given period of time (e.g., the half-life for C14 is equal to 5,730 years).

Radioactive dating is a technique to measure the age of an element by measuring its radioactive activity.

In conclusion, charcoal with a carbon-14 activity of 0.60 compared to new wood has less than 5,730 yr.

Which one of these complementary base pairs can form three hydrogen bonds?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer

Explanation:

There are three hydrogen bonds formed between Guanine and Cytosine base.  

The first hydrogen bond is formed between the oxygen atom on Carbon-6 (C-6) of guanine, and one of the hydrogen atoms attached to the Nitrogen atom (i.e the one of the hydrogen atoms in the amino group) on the Carbon-4 (C-4)of the cytosine base.  

The second hydrogen bond is formed between the hydrogen atom on Nitrogen-1 (N-1) of the guanine base and Nitrogen-3 (N-3) of the cytosine base.

The third hydrogen bond exist between one of the hydrogen atoms in the amino group attached to the second Carbon (C-2) of the guanine base, and the oxygen atom attached to the second Carbon (C-2) of the cytosine base.
