The answer is carbon dating. This method is based on the fact that a radioactive isotope of carbon is constantly being created in the atmosphere due to the interaction of cosmic rays with atmospheric nitrogen. This radioactive carbon combines with oxygen to form radioactive carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide enters the food web, first through plants through photosynthesis, and then to the primary and secondary consumer levels. Therefore, animal and plant material will contain a portion of this radioactive carbon. This particular form of carbon has a half life of <span>5,730 years due to radioactive decay. So this is how scientists are able to date the age of biological material.</span>

How does a cloned sheep compare genetically to a sheep that is made using sexual reproduction
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The cloned sheep is the result of nuclear fusion from two different sheeps. In one sheep the enucleated egg is fused with DNA of another sheep.

Explanation:

The cloned sheep is the result of nuclear fusion of 2 different sheep. In the cloning process, the egg cell of one sheep was enucleated. Then a DNA from another sheep had taken and put into the enucleated egg cell to fuse.  Then the egg allowed to divide in the laboratory to the blastocyst stage. The blastocyst incorporated into a surrogate mother or a third sheep.  The surrogate mother after some months gives birth to the cloned sheep.  

The sheep produced by normal reproduction has the DNA of two parents. The sheep have two parents and resemble their parents.  

In cloned sheep, there is no biological parent and have DNA of the donor sheep. That means the cloned sheep has a gene of a single sheep not the DNA of others. Because the egg cell was enucleated before the cloning process.  The sheep are more like the donor DNA sheep not like the surrogate mother.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

a. surrounds individual muscles.

Explanation:

Individual muscle fibers have layers of connective tissue surrounding them. Epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium are the three layers of connective tissue that extend from the fascia and protect the muscle fibers. Epimysium is the outer most layer of connective tissue of individual muscle fiber. It encircles the entire muscle. Epimysium consists of dense irregular connective tissue. It serves to separate the muscle fibers from the other types of tissues present in the area to facilitate their independent movement.
