The right answer is C. The rates of decay of radioactive elements.

The dating methods make it possible to locate an object in time, fossil remains, and to estimate a date as accurate as possible. If Carbon 14 is the method that comes to mind instantly, this is just one method among others. Depending on the object to date, the context of its discovery, the material and the quantity that can be taken, several techniques can be deployed.

Each method of dating is generally dedicated to the study of a type of materials, for example, timber for dendrochronology, organic remains (wood, bone) for the C14 method or lava for the Potassium-Argon method. Some methods are too destructive and/or too expensive, so it may sometimes be preferable to date the sediments surrounding an artifact rather than the object itself.

Are most mutations bad?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Mutational effects can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral, depending on their context or location. Most non-neutral mutations are deleterious. In general, the more base pairs that are affected by a mutation, the larger the effect of the mutation, and the larger the mutation's probability of being deleterious.
