AKA. RADIOMETRIC DATING
We can learn about the past by studying the present.
The Principle of Uniformitarianism states that current geological processes are the same processes that were at work in the past. This principle was proposed by Charles Lyell in the 1800's
Absolute Dating
Involves finding the absolute age (actual age) of a rock or fossil.
Elements that emit particles and energy are radioactive.
As radioactive elements emit particles and energy, they form new isotopes or elements.

Answer:
A. Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation.
B. Denaturants may affect the tertiary structure of prions.
C. Prions are proteins.
Explanation:
Prions are the proteinaceous infectious particles that cause many degenerative diseases of neurons in both animals and humans. They consist of only protein and no DNA or RNA. Due to the absence of DNA or RNA as genetic material, these infectious particles are resistant to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiations affect nucleic acids of pathogens to destroy them.
Denaturation of proteins affects their secondary and tertiary structures and leave them non-functional. Denaturation may be caused by changes in temperature, pH, disturbance of hydrogen bonds, etc. Therefore, to destroy prions, they need to be denatured.
