Half life is the period of time it takes for one-half of the atoms of an original isotope to decay.

formula=(\frac{1}{2})^{n}

In this example we have:  (\frac{1.25 kg}{10kg})^{n} where n= the number of half lives.

Thus: \frac{1.25kg}{10kg} =\frac{1}{8}

\frac{1}{8} =(\frac{1}{2})^{n} From this equation n=3. The answer to your question is: 3 half lives have passed which gives the meteorite an age of 4.5*3= 13.5 billion years.

A expresses dna that has been derived from another species. 2. dna that has been altered to contain genes, or portions of genes,
OlgaM077 [116]
1. A transgenic organism expresses DNA that has been derived from another species. These organisms have altered genomes and are generated in the laboratory for the purposes of research, for example, the "knock-out" mice are tansgenic mice with a particular gene of interest disabled. 
2. Recombinant DNA is the DNA that has been altered to contain genes, or portions of genes, from different organisms. The DNA molecules are formed in the lab using recombination methods to bring together genetic material from multiple sources and therefore creating sequences that are not found in the genome. 
3. Restriction enzymes are found naturally in bacteria and they cut DNA at specific nucleotide sequences. These enzymes are also called restriction endonucleases, they cleave DNA into fragments at or near specific recognition sites called restriction sites. They are found in bacteria and archaea and they serve to provide a defense mechanism against invading viruses.
4. Biotechnology is the use or alteration of organisms, cells, or biological molecules to produce food, drugs, or other goods. Living systems and organisms are used to make or develop products. Biotechnology enhances cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and product for the purposes of improving life and health. 
5. Polymerase chain reaction is a technique that is used to quickly synthesize billions of copiies of a specific segment of DNA.  It is a quick and a very efficient way to generate many copies of DNA.  The process is applicable when there are small quantities of DNA to analyze. The events of PCR involves; separation of DNA strands, addition of primers, use of DNA polymerase to produce second strand of DNA. 
6. In the process known as transformation, bacteria take up pieces of DNA from the surroundings. Bacterial transformation results from the uptake of naked DNA (DNA without associated cells or proteins). Transformation may also occur naturally in some species of bacteria.

Which descriptions are true regarding different muscle types? check all that apply. cardiac and skeletal muscles are striated. s
a_sh-v [17]
The true descriptions regarding muscles are; Cardiac muscles and skeletal muscles are striated, heart (cardiac) and digestive (smooth) muscles are involuntary muscles, cardiac muscles work to pump blood. Skeletal muscles are the muscles that attach to the bones and their main function i contracting to facilitate movement of our skeletons. Smooth muscle are found in walls of hollow organs such as the stomach and are stimulated by involuntary action. While the cardiac muscles are found solely in the walls of the heart, they are highly specialized and under the control of of the autonomic nervous system.
