BIOLOGY - Carbon-14 is a radioisotope of carbon that has a half-life of about 5,730 years. A geologist is using carbon-14 dating

on charcoal samples to find the age of ancient forest fires. Match the approximate age to each charcoal sample in the following two questions.
Charcoal Sample #1 has 50% of its carbon-14 remaining.
What is the approximate age of Charcoal Sample #1?
Group of answer choices:
A: 12000 years old
B: 3000 years old
C: 6000 years old
D: 18000 years old

--------------------------------------------------



Charcoal Sample #2 has 6% of its carbon-14 remaining.

What is the approximate age of Charcoal Sample #2?
Group of answer choices
A: 18000 years old
B: 6000 years old
C: 24000 years old
D: 12000 years old

The decay of uranium isotopes is used to provide information about the age of Earth.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Isotopes of Uranium U-232, U-233 , U-234 , U-235 , U-236 , U-238 are used as fuel in nuclear reactors or as explosives for nuclear weapons. Uranium 238 is not very radioactive and it constitutes for nearly 99.3% of natural uranium on Earth and has the longest lifetime: its period is 4.5 billion years, about the age of Earth.

Use of radiometric dating techniques help in defining the age of substances (natural or man-made) using the known decay rates of radioactive elements. Each element has an  individual decay rate and half life time.

Two Uranium isotopes (U-238 and U-235) are used for radiometric dating. Both the isotopes have different decay rates and half life period. Both are unstable and radioactive. Since two different isotopes produce two different decay clocks (one as a reference to other), it is beneficial in accurately determining the age of samples. The age of earth (rocks or other natural elements) can be easily determined using Uranium isotopes.

In which of the following structures of a vascular plant would you expect to find totipotent cells? select all correct choices.
natita [175]
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A. mature leaves
B. shoot apical meristem
C. cell elongation zone
<span>D. axillary buds
</span>
I think the correct answers are option B and D. It would be at the shoot apical meristem and the axillary buds that <span> a vascular plant would you expect to find totipotent cells. Hope this answers the question.</span>
