Carbon-14 is useful to estimate the date of fossils that are less than 50,000 years old.

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Carbon-14 is the best option to use by estimating the date of fossils that are below 50,000 years old. This is because the carbon-14' half-life is around 5730 years i.e. the existing Carbon-14 in the living bodies decays in 5730 years once they die.

That's the reason Carbon dating utilized to estimate the age of objects that are below 50,000 years old. Objects such as dead plants, wood or human artifacts that are younger than 50,000 years.

After the death of living beings, Carbon 12 and Carbon 14 existing in these organisms starts decaying by converting into Nitrogen. By estimating the leftover amount of carbon 14 in their bodies, scientists can evaluate their age.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: is to work with genes in complex and often unknown ways in the development of these traits.

Explanation:

The development as well as the expression of the traits in a living being depends upon both genes and the environmental factors. The heredity traits as well as the environmental factors both are responsible for the expression of the traits in the living beings.

Relatively how genes express their traits is dependent upon in the environment they are present. Sometimes, the environment restricts the expression of genes. The effects of the environment depends upon the genes with which they interact with.

For example, the people may vary in height. The environmental factors like proper diet, lack of exercise may suppress the trait of tallness in some living beings. Thus the expression of the gene becomes unknown due to environmental conditions.
