ht to be 65 million years old has recently been discovered by paleontologist mary schweitzer (fields 2006). you have been asked to analyze a sample of the tissue for carbon-14 dating. the activity of the sample was found to be 8 x 10-5 disintegrations per second. an equal mass of fresh sample of human tissue was found to be 15.200 disintegrations per second. the half-life of carbon-14 is 5700 yr. calculate the age of the dinosaur tissue from the data you acquired.

<h2>Evolutionary analysis of organisms</h2>

Explanation:

  • Some organisms, which were characterized together determined to genetically very different .
  • Using the analysis of RNA developed by Carl Woese, scientists are now able to classify  the human evolution
  • living things based on genetic information instead of expressed characteristics.
  • Genetic  information is more specific and can give clues as to the evolutionary ancestry of  organisms.
  • That is the reason adding of various domains in previous system of classification is allowed for a comparison of species genetic code

What is responsible for termination of transcription in eukaryotic protein-coding genes?
kupik [55]

Answer:

<h2>A polyadenylation signal or poly(A) </h2>

Explanation:

Termination. In eukaryotes, transcription is terminated differently for the all 3 different RNA polymerases. Transcription is terminated by two elements: i) a poly(A) signal and ii) a downstream terminator sequence.

In eukaryotic protein-encoding genes, the cleavage site in the RNA occurs between an upstream( the sequence before the cleavage site) AAUAAA  and a downstream GU-rich, separated by approx 40-60 nucleotides. After they both have been transcribed, a protein knows as CPSF  and another protein called CstF( in humans)  helps in termination.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1. x chromosome

2.males

3.one X and one Y chromosome.

4. two X chromosomes

5. a very common trait in humans and frequently used to explain X-linked disorders.[8] Between seven and ten percent of men and 0.49% to 1% of women are affected. Its commonness may be explained by its relatively benign nature. It is also known as daltonism.

6.Females with one copy of the mutated gene are carriers. X-linked inheritance means that the gene causing the trait or the disorder is located on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes while males have one X and one Y chromosome.
