Answer:

Both absolute and relative dating

Explanation:

There are two ways of finding the age of the fossil.

1. Relative dating

2. Radioactive dating.

Relative dating: In this method, we can only compare the ages of the fossil but cannot precisely find it. In relative dating, we dig the earth and look for the presence of fossils, and it is reasonable that the fossil discovered closer to the surface of the earth is most recent one and the fossil discovered in the deeper layers is the older one. So here we talk about the age of fossil in relative terms.

Radioactive dating: All organic matter on the earth is made up of various elements. Some elements exist in different isotopic forms such as C-12 and C-14. C-14 is radioactive isotope, it is unstable and decays over time at a steady rate. This steady rate is known as half life of the respective isotope. We can calculate the ratio of observed abundance of that radioactive isotope and its decay product in the fossil or rock we are studying. This is the principle of radioactive dating.

It is relative dating because no scientist can tell the actually time that the layers of rocks where formed or when the fossil began to degrade

NISA [10]
Anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) would caused muscle cells to produce lactic acid. This causes the muscles to ache and in the long term, damages them. Also anaerobic respiration releases far less energy (ATP) than aerobic respiration. So it is best for muscle cells to respire aerobically as they need more energy.

lys-0071 [83]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

a. one allele from each parent

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

An allele in biological sciences is one of the possible forms of a gene that it can inherit. Most genes have two alleles, a dominant allele and a recessive allele. When Gregor Mendel crossed a tall plant with a short plant, the F1 plants inherited an allele for tallness from the tall parent and an allele for shortness from the short parent.

Ann [662]

Answer: Young children

Explanation: Resistance to food borne illnesses develops through exposure to small amounts of food borne pathogens. The longer the exposure, the greater the buildup of immunity. Young children are more likely to succumb to food borne illnesses due to lack of exposure to pathogens, and resultant lack of resistance to them.
