I had biology last year and these are the 8 things that make something a living thing
Explanation:
The DNA contains many regulatory sequences that are very important, even though they do not code for proteins.
For example, the expression of every gene is regulated by a region called the Promoter. The promoter sequence, located close by the coding region of the gene, usually binds the RNA polymerase (the enzyme that transcribes genes into mRNA) as well as other proteins necessary for transcription,
The promoter sequence, thus, does not itself code for proteins, but is essential for transcription and must be highly conserved so that the RNA polymerase can find it.
Both nucleic acids have Adenine, Cytosine and Guanine. DNA has an exclusive Thymine while RNA has Uracil which DNA doesn't have.
Answer:
Carbon-14
Source: "Carbon-14 dating is a way of determining the age of certain archaeological artifacts of a biological origin up to about 50,000 years old. It is used in dating things such as bone, cloth, wood and plant fibers that were created in the relatively recent past by human activities.
