Answer:

Well we all know gravity.

And we all know Isaac Newton.

Well Newton was actually first to find this out. So if you think about it why do objects fall when we drop them? Gravity.

So this has to do with gravitational pull. The suns gravitational pull on the planets keep them in place.

the reason the planets orbit the Sun is related to why objects fall to Earth when we drop them. The Sun's gravity pulls on the planets, just as Earth's gravity pulls down anything that is not held up by some other force and keeps you and me on the ground.

When a living organism dies, it stops taking in new carbon. Thus, as the radioactive carbon-14 decays, the ratio of carbon-12 to

Alexxandr [17]

Answer: The fossil is 11459 years old.

Explanation:

Half-life of carbon-14 = 5700 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{5700\text{years}}$

$k=1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{years}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the age of the sample:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{years}^{-1}
t = age of sample = ?
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
x = amount decayed = 75 g
a - x = amount left after decay process = 100 - 75 = 25 g Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
[tex]t==\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{25}$

$t=11459years$

The fossil is 11459 years old.

Answer:

2. Alec Jeffreys

Explanation:

'DNA fingerprinting' or DNA typing (profiling) as it is now known, was first described in 1985 by an English geneticist named Alec Jeffreys. Dr. Jeffreys found that certain regions of DNA contained DNA sequences that were repeated over and over again next to each other.

Whales and hippos share what 3 characteristics? source is https://youtu.be/lIEoO5KdPvg

NARA [144]

Answer: Hairlessness and Glands
explanation:Another notable similarity between the two groups is minimal hair. Both hippos and whales possess barely any hair on their bodies. They do not have sweat glands, either. These are both characteristics that can assist them in their aquatic lifestyles.

How is it possible that over 20 million living organisms on the planet are made up of only 5 types of nucleotide based arranged

almond37 [142]

Answer/Explanation:

The DNA in all living organisms is made up of 4 bases, adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine. The RNA replaces thymine with uracil, making 5 types of nucleotide. The number of nucleotide pairs in a genome can range from half a million up to 100,000 million - meaning there are an exponential number of combinations of these 4 bases.

Imagine an organism exists that has only 2 nucleotides (this is over 200,000x smaller than even the smallest bacterial genome). If we allow any nucleotide at each of the 2 positions, then we have 4x4 (4²) or 16 possible combinations of sequences. For a nucleotide length of 4, the total number of possible combinations are 4⁴ or 256.

Since we are dealing with many millions of nucleotides, there are essentially infinite combinations of nucleotides, giving rise to the variation that produces over 20 million organisms on the planet.
