Answer:

Option A, occurs at a constant rate

Explanation:

It becomes easy to determine the age of any radioactive substance when the rate of decay is constant and its starting and presents mass is known.

For example - if we know that the mass of a radioactive substance is 100 Kg few years back , but its present mass is 10 Kg. Then if we know the value of rate of decay, we can easily determine the age of substance based on the logarithmic equation as given below

A_t= A_0*e^{kt}

Where A_t is the mass of radioactive substance at time t

A_0 is the mass of radioactive substance at time t=0

t is the time in years and

k is the decay constant.

Hence, option A is correct.

topjm [15]

Answer:

Avoid using killed vaccine for administration.

Explanation:

Bruton's agammaglobulinemia may be defined as the X linked disorder that affects the immune system of an individual. This disease is mainly caused by the mutation in the gene responsible for coding the  Bruton tyrosine kinase.

The children suffering from this disease require special immunization and some precaution must be followed before immunizing them. These patients are not allowed to immunizes with the live vaccines as these vaccines can evoke the immune response strongly and child may get infected by the disease. The individual should not given immunosuppressive drugs or corticosteroids.

Dodder is a parasitic plant, which has roots for support and absorption of nutrients from the host plant. Determine what kind of
skad [1K]
The original roots of dodder usually die. As a parasitic plant that cannot produce its own chlorophyll, it breaks away from its root system as the roots has no apparent root cap nor apical meristems. Hence the "root" is not performing its very function of water and nutrient uptake. It then produces haustoria, a root-shaped fungi which penetrates host plant which makes the dodder parasitic.
