Generally, mutations result in reduced protein function or no protein function. A mutation with reduced function is called a leaky mutation because some of the wild-type function “leaks” through into the phenotype. A mutation that results in no protein function is called a null mutation

Explain how a paleontologist might use absolute dating techniques to determine the age of a fossil.
miv72 [106K]
A paleontologist can use radiometric dating (also known as carbon dating), to determine the age of a fossil. They do this by measuring the decay of isotopes in either the fossil itself or the rocks associated with it. A carbon-14 isotope takes about<span> 5,730 years to halfway decay, knowing this information paleontologists can date a fossil by how long the fossil has been decaying with the use of special tools.

Which statement is FALSE?Question 39 options: Water can hold an unlimited amount of oxygen. Water can hold less oxygen than air
algol13

Answer: Water can hold an unlimited amount of oxygen.

Explanation:

Water cannot hold an unlimited amount of oxygen because it would get to a point where it is saturated as it needs to hold Hydrogen as well. Air on the other hand, has significantly more space for oxygen as it contains only 21% and can keep taking more.

Underwater organisms need oxygen for respiration and a small decrease in the oxygen available in water affects aquatic life because they rely on it to survive.
