Answer:

Acquired (or somatic) mutations occur at some time during a person's life and are present only in certain cells, not in every cell in the body. These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division.

Answer:

Genetic variations can arise from gene mutations or from genetic recombination (a normal process in which genetic material is rearranged as a cell is getting ready to divide). These variations often alter gene activity or protein function, which can introduce different traits in an organism. If a trait is advantageous and helps the individual survive and reproduce, the genetic variation is more likely to be passed to the next generation (a process known as natural selection).

When a living organism dies, it stops taking in new carbon. Thus, as the radioactive carbon-14 decays, the ratio of carbon-12 to

Alexxandr [17]

Answer: The fossil is 11459 years old.

Explanation:

Half-life of carbon-14 = 5700 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{5700\text{years}}$

$k=1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{years}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the age of the sample:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{years}^{-1}
t = age of sample = ?
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
x = amount decayed = 75 g
a - x = amount left after decay process = 100 - 75 = 25 g Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
[tex]t==\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{25}$

$t=11459years$

The fossil is 11459 years old.
