Answer:

Explanation:

Absolute age is defined as the numeric age of fossils.

To identify the absolute age of a fossil, the amount of certain radioactive elements in the rock are measured. When fossils are formed in the rocks, a small amounts of radioactive elements is included in it. The process to identify age of fossil using radioactive elements is known radiometric dating. So, radioactive isotope and its decay product gives absolute age of fossils.

Hence, the correct answer is "D".

Answer:

a. histones. is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a nucleosome, the DNA is wrapped around eight histones proteins to create strong loops termed nucleosome.

A nucleosome is the structural subunit of the chromatin.

Chromatin is a fiber polymer of double-stranded DNA which is composed up of a nucleosome core. The nucleosome core is made of histone proteins

Each nucleosome is composed of DNA enclosed around eight histone proteins which are called histone octamer.
