<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

amount of decayed daughter elements

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Absolute age is the age of a rock in years. Absolute age is found by measuring the amount of certain radioactive elements in the rock.</u></em>
  • During the formation of rock, small amounts of radioactive elements is normally included. As the time passes, the parent radioactive elements undergo decay at a regular rate into non-radioactive daughter elements.
  • <u><em>By measuring the rate at which a parent element decays and then the ratio of parent element to daughter element in the rock the age of rock in years can be found.</em></u>

jeyben [28]

Question:All known organisms use genetic information to produce protein molecules via the same genetic code. This finding strongly supports the hypothesis that __________.

a) the earliest macromolecules probably arose when lightning struck an oxygen-free atmosphere

b) all organisms are descended from one or a few common ancestors

c) the genetic code readily evolves by natural selection

d) there's only one possible way to encode information in a macromolecule

Answer:

b) all organisms are descended from one or a few common ancestors

Explanation:

Protein synthesis occurs when the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes. A specific genetic code specifies the same amino acid in all living beings. For example, the code "UUU" codes for phenylalanine in all the living beings irrespective of their species. This suggests that all the life forms have originated from one or few common ancestors and the genetic code has been preserved during the course of evolution of various species.

Which of the following statements about archaea are true cowan?A) They are prokaryotes.B) They lack peptidoglycan in their cell
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

All the options are true except option D.

Explanation:

Archaea are a group of prokaryotic organisms i.e. they lack a membrane bound nucleus. They are one of the the three domains of life (the other two being bacteria and eukarya). Archeans possess a cell wall like bacteria but it is not composed of peptidoglycan, like bacteria cell wall.

Archeans are generally known to be found in very severe environmental conditions, hence, they are referred to as extremophiles e.g Some are thermoacidophiles i.e. thrive in very hot and acidic environment while others are extreme halophiles i.e. thrive in salty regions. Archeans known as methanogens produce methane gas as a product of metabolism from carbon dioxide and hydrogen.

However, the domain archeae was only found to be in existence recently after the domain bacteria, hence, they are not considered to evolve before the domain bacteria.

Answer:

here are some:

1) market failure, 2) the tragedy of the commons, and 3) the underprovisioning of public goods. One of the first principles of free markets is that for them to work effec- tively, the full costs of an activity must be borne by the involved parties.
