The half life of Carbon 14 is 5500 years. How many years will pass for a 30 gram sample to reach 3.75 grams

Biology

Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original mass. In this case the half life of carbon-14 is 5500 years. 
The original mass is 30 g and the new mass is 3.75 g. 
New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives; 
3.75 = 30 × (1/2)^n
 1/8 = (1/2)^n
 n = 3 
Thus, the time taken will be; 3 × 5500 = 16500 years.

Organisms with advantageous adaptations are more likely to survive and reproduce than organisms without the advantageous adaptat
expeople1 [14]

Natural selection refers to the phenomenon by which the species in a population possessing the tendency to get adapted in a condition enhance in numbers in comparison to those who exhibit fewer adaptation capacities over a number of generations.  

In other words, it can be stated as the non-random and differential development of distinct genotypes function to sustain favorable variant and to eradicate less favorable variants. Some of the conditions are required for the process of natural selection to take place.  

These are heredity, reproduction, variation in individual characters, and variation in the fitness of organisms among the members of the population. If the conditions are met, then the phenomenon of natural selection occurs by default.

Las micotoxinas son sustancias químicas naturales que algunas especies de hongos sintetizan y son peligrosas porque pueden estar presentes en el moho de los alimentos. Las micotoxinas producen daños en el bazo y en el riñón, pero el hígado es el órgano que es mayormente afectado. Algunas micotoxinas producen aflatoxicosis, la cual puede llegar a causar la muerte.
