How does carbon dating tell us how old a bone is ?

Biology
1 answer:
Anestetic [448]3 years ago
5 0

carbon dating shows how old a bone is by measuring the amount of carbon 12, and carbon 14 that the bone contains. and because carbon 14 is not replaced by exchange with the atmosphere the ratio of c12:c14 (the ratio of carbon 12 to carbon 14) tells how old the bone is by comparing the amount of carbon 14 to the amount of carbon 12. carbon 14 has a half life of 5,700 years, while carbon 12 is stable and does not radioactively decay at all.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Both are hydrophobic

Explanation:

Because first of all Internal start- transfer process is a process where a peptide is transfered to the side opening of translocon and then then fixes itself in the membrane, whereas

Stop-transfer sequences in proteins act to stop this process of translocation and moves out through the side opening in translocation to fix itself on a membrane this is consistent with the hydrophobic nature that repels water. Because they are non polar and lack the capacity to form a hydrogen bond with another molecule

Which of the following would you expect to contain cells with the same number of chromsomes as an egg cell in a plant? (Pick all
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option -  A. Gametophyte, C. spore, and D. sperm.

Explanation:

The egg cell of a plant is haploid in the cell which means it has only one set of chromosomes. The haploid cells arise from the meiosis cell division in parent sex cells. These parent cells are divided into four cells with half of the chromosome number in comparison to the parent cells.

The gametophyte, spore, and sperm all three are the product of the meiosis division and are haploid in number.

Thus, the correct answer is option - A, gametophyte, C. spore and D. sperm.

Two cities are separated by 200 miles. City X has an altitude of 122 meters and City Y has an altitude of 260 meters. Calculate
OleMash [197]

Answer: 0.69 m/ mile.

Explanation:

The altitude gradient between two cities X and Y = \dfrac{\text{Altitude of City Y - Altitude of city X}}{\text{Distance between two cities}}\times100\%

Given: Two cities are separated by 200 miles.

City X has an altitude of 122 meters.

City Y has an altitude of 260 meters.

The altitude gradient between two cities X and Y =

\dfrac{260-122}{200}=0.69\text{m/ mile}

Hence, the altitude gradient between the two cites = 0.69 m/ mile.
