How would a geologist use absolute dating to determine the age of sedimentary layers? by dating the age of intrusions and extrus
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Radiometric dating methods

Explanation:

Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a chronological or specified time scale in which events occurred in archaeology and geology. Absolute dating can be determined by using properties of the atoms that make up materials.

The most common method of absolute dating uses by geologists is radiometric dating methods which is based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon found in the rocks. By comparing the ratio of parent isotope with a known half-life to daughter product in the rock, the age of the rock can be determined.

The carbon-14 isotope is used in radiocarbon dating, but is only useful for measuring recently formed rocks in the geologic past. The decay of Potassium-40 isotope known as potassium-argon (K-Ar) method allows dating of materials that up to 1,000 billion years old.

In Avery's experiment, he used DNase, RNase or proteinase to treat the heat killed S strain to see what component in the debris
nevsk [136]

Answer:

S strain

Explanation:

The Avery experiment demonstrated DNA is the genetic material. It expanded upon the findings made by Griffith.

They used Pneumococcus; Smooth strain which was virulent and the Rough which was not.

Cultures of heat killed smooth strain were prepared after which it was treated with DNases ,RNases and Proteinases to remove DNA, RNA, and proteins respectively. It will then be introduced to living Rough strain.

When treated with RNases only the RNA will be destroyed and transformation will take place leading to colonies of S stains being formed.

Only when treated with DNase did the colonies S strain fail to be formed.
