Answer:
D
Explanation:
Absolute age is defined as the numeric age of fossils.
To identify the absolute age of a fossil, the amount of certain radioactive elements in the rock are measured. When fossils are formed in the rocks, a small amounts of radioactive elements is included in it. The process to identify age of fossil using radioactive elements is known radiometric dating. So, radioactive isotope and its decay product gives absolute age of fossils.
Hence, the correct answer is "D".
Answer:
A blog cited as a source
Explanation:
Blogs often contain opinions rather than facts
Answer:
A mutation in the DNA sequence of the gene for brown fur
Explanation:
The mutations are capable of changing the encoded protein product, in this case the gene that encodes for the fur color pigment. This mutation may have occurred during mitosis or meiosis divisions.
If it is a spontaneous mutation that occurred in the germinal line (meiosis) and confers an adaptive advantage, it will increase their frequency in the population.
The chance of the offsprings with stripe on head is 50%.
Option A.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Here according to the figures, the male is the brown one which has no stripe on his head as mentioned, and the female is the pink one who has a stripe on her head. The gene for the head stripe is denoted by H.
So the genotype of the father which is given as Hh. He is heterozygous.
The genotype of the mother should be hh as she has stripe and she must be homozygous recessive to have it.
So the gametes from father is H and h. Whereas the gametes from mother is only h.
So the genotype of the offsprings are Hh and hh as 50% each.
So the probability of the offspring being striped head is 50%.
