Answer:

Radiometric dating methods

Explanation:

Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a chronological or specified time scale in which events occurred in archaeology and geology. Absolute dating can be determined by using properties of the atoms that make up materials.

The most common method of absolute dating uses by geologists is radiometric dating methods which is based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon found in the rocks. By comparing the ratio of parent isotope with a known half-life to daughter product in the rock, the age of the rock can be determined.

The carbon-14 isotope is used in radiocarbon dating, but is only useful for measuring recently formed rocks in the geologic past. The decay of Potassium-40 isotope known as potassium-argon (K-Ar) method allows dating of materials that up to 1,000 billion years old.

Which statement is NOT true of genetic drift?
Lera25 [3.4K]
Genetic drift does NOT create greater diversity within a population. Its effect is the opposite of it. Because of the infrequency of an allele, the allele may be lost in the population or only appear rarely in a specific locus in a population. This will then result in a loss of variance to the population. 

The answer then will be letter A.

bija089 [108]

Answer: given -->  a pea plant with a yellow pea phenotype.

Explanation:

if its is round in shape then its a homozygous but if it is wrinkled in shape then its type is heterozygous.

To determine the genotype of this plant, we can use double gene cross method taking two possibilities - round and yellow or wrinkled and yellow.

its predicted phenotype can be 1:3:3:1.

Erythrocytes (red blood cells)have no nucleus, mitochondria, orother organelles at maturity. Theseorganelles are ejected when th
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Erythrocytes are not considered true cells, because of their lack of a nucleus. The effect of having no nucleus makes their self-reproduction impossible, and the absence of mitochondria is a disadvantage because they have to obtain energy by alternative reactions.

Explanation:

Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are the structure in charge of transporting gases in the blood. When these cells are mature, they have already lost their nucleus —in order to have space to house the hemoglobin molecule— which prevents mature red blood cells from being able to reproduce.

Additionally, red blood cells do not have mitochondria —the main energy generator in eukaryotic cells— so in order to obtain energy they need to perform lactic fermentation, with a lower enegetic yield, which may be a disadvantage, but sufficient for this structure to perform its function.
