The currently accepted value for the half-life of 14C is 5,730 years. This means that after 5,730 years, only half of the initial 14C will remain; a quarter will remain after 11,460 years; an eighth after 17,190 years; and so on.

Answer:

C. Tyrone:

  1. Information stored in DNA
  2. Transcription
  3. Translation
  4. Gene Expression

Explanation:

Central Dogma of Molecular Biology:

  • The central dogma of molecular biology is the scheme that illustrates the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein. The processes include:
  • Genetic information is stored in DNA in the form of nucleotide bases.
  • This DNA sequence is converted into RNA sequence through a process called transcription. Transcription produces an mRNA which is complementary to the DNA sequence of the gene but contains ribonucleotides.
  • mRNA is read in the form of codons which are triplet codes of nucleotide bases specific for a specific amino acid. These codons are decoded and translated into proteins through the process of translation.
  • Both processes of transcription and translation combined with post-translational modifications of proteins is termed as gene expression.
