The answer is <span>the radioactive isotope reacts in the same way as stable isotopes in the chemical reactions in the body.

</span>

C-14 and C-12 are carbon isotopes used to measure the approximate age of organic remains. C-12 is stable, and it does not break down into other elements over time. C-14 is not stable. It breaks down into N-14. But, in the body, <span>the radioactive isotope reacts in the same way as stable isotopes in the chemical reactions.</span>

What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploidy are caused? What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploid
sleet_krkn [62]

The correct answer is:

The principal cause of aneuploidy is chromosome nondisjunction during mitosis or meiosis. Polyploidy in nature can result either from the duplication of euploid chromosome sets from a single species or from the combining of chromosome sets from different species.  

Aneuploidy is a phenomenon when there is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell (an extra or missing chromosome). Usually it appears as a result of improper cell division (chromosomes don’t separate) and it can cause many genetic disorders.

Polyploidy refers to a state when there are more than two sets of chromosomes (one from mother one from father). Triploid (three sets of chromosomes) and tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes) chromosomes are examples of polyploidy. This phenomenon is most common in plants.

An operational definition is used for a behavior so that
dezoksy [38]

An operational definition is used for a behavior so that the behavior can be properly described and understood. Without an operational definition, it would be difficult to describe behavior without being subjective. Therefore, behavior cannot be understood and cannot be correctly addressed. It is also important to understand how behavior functions so that the antecedents and consequences of behavior can be observed. Thus, what reinforces or affects the behavior can be better understood. Lastly, an operational definition is objective and specific, therefore, behavior can be described across different settings and times.

List two forces that can change rocks into metamorphic rocks​
babymother [125]

Answer: Metamorphic rocks started out as some other type of rock, but have been substantially changed from their original igneous, sedimentary, or earlier metamorphic form. Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.

hope the answer is correct if not then sorry
