Answer:

B. C, A, B

Explanation:

We can measure the age of an artifact by comparison of the activities a living sample with that of the artifact. This is so because the activity of the living sample represents the original activity of the artifact.

So, the steps involved in determining the age of an artifact is to measure the ratio of the parent and daughter nuclei. Then we use the half life of carbon to find out how many half lives have passed. Using this number of half lives that has passed, we can compute the age of the object.

Calculate the number of grams of oxygen gas in a 24L container at STP

romanna [79]

There are 34 g of oxygen in the container.

We can use the<em> Ideal Gas Law</em> to solve this problem.

$pV = nRT$

But $n = \frac{m}{M}$ , so

$pV = \frac{m}{M}RT$ and

$m = \frac{pVM}{RT}\\$

STP is 0 °C and 1 bar, so

$m = \frac{\text{1 bar} \times \text{24 L} \times 32.00 \text{ g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}}{\text{0.083 14 } \text{bar}\cdot\text{L}\cdot\text{K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\times\text{273.15 K} } = \textbf{34 g}\\$

Why is asexual reproduction simpler in prokaryotes?

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

In asexual reproduction, a single parent produces genetically identical offspring. As prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, and have only one circular chromosome, they do not need to reproduce by the same mechanism as eukaryotic cells; mitosis does not exist in prokaryotic cells.
