Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

A high quality DNA sample will have a 260/280 ratio of around 1.8. This value means that the DNA is sufficiently pure and free from other contaminants that could affect downstream experiments and analysis.

The ratio for this sample is 0.489/0.257 = 1.9

This is close to 1.8, and therefore the sample is of sufficient quality ot use downstream.

Nitella [24]
The half-life of Carbon-14 is 5760 years. 
<span>For carbon-14 to have decayed down by a factor of 12, we know between 3 and 4 half-lives must have elapsed. Since 4 half-lives is only 23,000 years, the sample is considerably younger than a dinosaur bone. (Unless we assume it's been contaminated with modern carbon, in which case, any age calculation based on carbon-14 is worthless.) </span>
<span>The decay equation is y = ae^(-0.0856t) with t in days. </span>
<span>To find the half-life, we solve for t such that y/a = 0.5. </span>

<span>0.5 = e^(-0.0856t) </span>
<span>Take natural logs of both sides: </span>
<span>-ln(2) = -0.0856t </span>

<span>-0.6931 = -0.0856t </span>
<span>Divide both sides by -0.0856... </span>
<span>8.096 = t </span>

<span>The half-life is 8.096 days.</span>
