Answer: 4282.928 = 4283 years
Explanation:
Data given;
Carbon 14 half life = 5740
No (initial radiation) = 0.230 Bq/g
Nf (final radiation) = 0.137 Bq/g
First we find the decimal fraction of the remaining half life of the carbon 14
k = No / Nf
k = (0.137 / 0.230) = 0.595652
So to find how many half-life has elapsed, we say
(1/2)^n = k
(1/2) ^n = 0.595652
Therefore
n log 0.5 = log 0.595652
n = ( log 0.595652) / ( log 0.5)
n = 0.747457
To get the elapsed time or how old the sample is;
We say
Carbon 14 half-life × n
5730 yrs × 0.747457
= 4282.928
= 4283 years.
So the sample of the wood is 4283 years old.
Answer:
A mutation in Ras protein which will cause hyperactivity will eventually lead to cancer.
Explanation:
Ras protein was first discovered in Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and it is a proto-oncogene product. In normal conditions, it plays an important role in cellular signalling but in case of gain of function/hyperactivity it gets converted into cellular oncogene. In several types of cancers a point mutation has been reported in Ras protein.
Just like G protein, it is also a GTPase switch protein but unlike G protein which is trimeric, it is monomeric. In the plasma membrane, it is attached with the help of lipids like prenyl or palmitoyl groups. During signal transduction pathway when it gets activated, it downstream activates MAPK pathway and causes gene expression but when it gets hyperactivated it causes over expression of genes leading to cancer.
Answer: James Watson and Francis Crick
Explanation:
In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick are responsible for determining the structure of DNA. James and Watson proposed that the DNA is made up of a double polynucleotide chains that are twisted around each other to forming a helical structure. The two DNA chains runs anti-parallel in opposite direction to each other. Like the structure of the ladder.
The answer is James Watson and Francis Crick
This is why natural selection acts on phenotypes instead of genotypes. A phenotype is an organism's physical traits, while a genotype is an organism's genetic makeup. This may sound counter-intuitive since the genetic makeup does get<span> passed on from generation to generation through reproduction.</span>
