Which statement accurately describes radioactive dating?

Biology
1 answer:
solniwko [45]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Radioactive dating works on the principle that a radioactive isotope can decay into the stable daughter nuclei at a constant rate. Geologist generally use the principle for half life. Half life is the time required for half of the radioactive substance to decay. This is constant for a particular element.

Explain in detail how acid rain is formed
Strike441 [17]

Answer: Acid rain is a product of the <u>chemical reaction of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide that is released with water, oxygen, and other chemicals into the atmosphere.</u> <u>Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide dissolve in water and can be carried several miles by the wind</u>. After traveling for a long distance,<u> the two compounds become part of rain, sleet, snow or fog.</u> <u>Power plants emit sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide when fossil fuels such as coal are burned to produce electricity.</u> Aswell as <u>the exhaust from cars, trucks, and buses releases sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the air.</u>

Which one of the codons below would stop the translation of mRNA by ribosomal subunits?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The correct option is D) UAG, UAA, UGA

Explanation:

The amino acid sequencing code or mRNA code contains specific codes which start and stop the process of translation at the right time. If the stop codon were not present then the ribosomal machinery would have made faulty proteins. If the stop codons are not at the right place, then it results in the production of faulty proteins. The stop codons which terminate the process of translation are UAG, UAA and UGA.

For the reaction C6H 1206C02+ H208 428 g of C6 H 1206 is consumed producing a 3.1 M solution of CO2 what is the volume of CO2 pr
timofeeve [1]
I think it’s m(C6H12O6) = 856 g

M(C6H12O6) = 12*6+1*12+16*6 = 180 g/mol

n(C6H12O6) = m/M = 856 g / 180 g/mol = 4.756 mol

n(CO2) = 6*4.756 = 28.536 mol

M(CO2) = 12+16*2 = 44 g/mol

m(CO2) = n*M = 28.536mol*44g/mol = 1255.584 g
