Radiometric dating ______.

Biology
2 answers:
aleksklad [387]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:Radiometric dating allows us to indirectly date fossils up to billions of years old based on minerals in surrounding volcanic strata. The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Radiometric dating was first used by geologist after being published by Bertram Bollywood in 1907. During volcanic eruption, some minerals ( carbon) are trapped within the volcanic strata. These minerals are made up of radioactive isotopes which are unstable as they form decay products with a known constant rate of decay. This enables them to :

- access information about the absolute age of rocks,

- date a wide range of natural and man-made materials

- know even the age of earth. I hope this helps. Thanks

Answer: Option D.

Radiometric dating allows to indirectly date up to billions of years old based on minerals in surrounding volcanic strata.

Explanation:

Radiometric dating is a way of measuring decay radioactive elements to determine the age of rocks or earth materials or organic origin based objects. It is an accurate way to know the age of earth or rocks because it is done based on radioactive decay of unstable isotopes. This was first used during volcanic eruptions when carbon was present in the volcanic strata.

The source of passive immunity that a mother gives to her infant through breast milk is known as __________.
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is- IgA

Explanation:

There are five types or class of antibodies found in the human body these are IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE, and IgG. Out of these five class IgA antibody is found in an abundant amount in the mother's milk or colostrum.

Infant take this antibody from the mother through breastfeeding which protects the infant from may pathogenic microbes. The immunity in which antibodies are taken from outside is called passive immunity.

Therefore the passive immunity source that is given by the mother to baby through breast milk is called IgA.

What term is used to describe the relationship of the DNA strands to each other?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

Deoxyribose nucleic acid or DNA is the genetic material of the organism which is made up of nucleotide monomer. The structure of DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides coiled in a helical structure thus providing a double-helical shape to the structure.  

Each nucleotide of a strand is composed of a five-carbon sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous bases. These molecules are arranged in anti-parallel fashion in DNA which provides the polarity to the DNA strand. One strand is read from the 5' to 3' direction whereas another form 3'to 5' direction.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Cultures of a bacterial species were incubated on the shelf of a refrigerator, out on a lab bench top, on the shelf of a 37°C in
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

D. Psychrophile

Explanation:

Psychrophiles or cryophiles are a type of extremophiles i.e. they live in extreme environment. They grow well in low temperatures ranging from -20 to +10 degree Celsius.

Here, the bacteria was incubated at different temperatures. It did not show growth at standard incubation temperature of 37°C which indicates that it might be an extremophile preferring either very hot or very cold environment. But it also did not show growth at 50°C which means that it does not survive well at high temperature.

Lab bench top has generally colder surface compared to the surrounding environment and a little growth was observed there which indicates that this bacteria might require cold temperature for growth. The result was finally confirmed with abundant growth observed inside refrigerator which is only possible if it is a psychrophile.
