Answer:
24555 years
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Half life of carbon 14 = 5700 years
carbon present in the dead man = 5% of the original amount of carbon 14
Now,
let the initial Amount of carbon be 'A'
Therefore,
after half life
Amount of carbon =
Thus,
=
here,
k is the decay constant
t is the time = 5700 years
therefore,
1 =
or
0.5 =
taking natural log both the sides
-0.69314 = 5700k
or
k = - 0.000122
therefore,
for dead man Amount of carbon = 5% of A = 0.05A
thus,
0.05A =
or
0.05 =
taking natural log both the sides
we get
-2.995 = - 0.000122 × t
or
t = 24555.18 ≈ 24555 years
So they can say the number quicker.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is as ollows:
For DNA, a plot of the change in absorbance versus temperature would be ________, which indicates ________.
Variable in shape (hyperbolic, linear or sigmoidal); the dependence of the denaturing process on the sequence of the DNA
Linear; the breaking of bonds between the base pairs is an independent process
Hyperbolic; a simple equilibrium between the native conformation and denatured DNA.
Sigmoidal; cooperativity where disruptions in the base stacking at one position destabilizes the stacking in neighboring base pairs
Answer:
Sigmoidal; cooperativity where disruptions in the base stacking at one position destabilizes the stacking in neighboring base pairs
Explanation:
DNA is the main genetic material of all the living organisms except in case of few viruses. DNA contains the nitrogenous bases ( adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine), pentose sugar and phosphate bond.
The DNA can absorb light due to the presence of the absorbance property of nitrogenous bases. The shape of the plot of the change in absorbance versus temperature is sigmoidal. This is because the temperature denatures the DNA and breaks the hydrogen bond present between the nitrogenous bases. The breaking of the bonds between the nitrogenous base will disrupt the bonding at the neighboring base pair also.
Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
D. fossils will help you discover how old the rock is, fossils would not be included in the question if the answer does not relate to them
The dependent variable in this lab is C) Enzyme's activity.
Due to the changing of the pH and the temperature, the enzyme's activity is going to be changing. Therefore, since this is the value that is being measured, the enzyme activity is in fact the dependent variable.
