Answer

7665 years

Procedure

Let N₀ be the amount of carbon-14 present in a living organism. According to the radioactive decay law, the number of carbon-14 atoms, N, left in a dead tissue sample after a certain time, t, is given by the exponential equation:

N = N₀e^(-λt)

where λ is the decay constant which is related to half-life (T1/2) by the equation:

$\lambda=\frac{ln(2)}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$

Here, ln(2) is the natural logarithm of 2.

The percent of carbon-14 remaining after time t is given by N/N₀.

Using the first equation, we can determine λt.

The half-life of carbon-14 is 5,720 years, thus, we can calculate λ using the second equation, and then find t.

$\lambda=\frac{ln(2)}{5720}=1.211\times10^{-4}$

Solving the second equation for t, and using the λ we have just calculated we will have

t= 7665 years

Nina [5.8K]

We will not be able to tell the genotype of the purple parent as it can either be a homo_zygous dominant or hetero_zygous. Without the complete genotype of the offspring, we would not be able to tell.

What happens when yeast is activated in two different ways?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

When the yeast get warm water and some food to eat (in the form of sugar), they will become active. And as they eat the sugar and break it down for food, they release carbon dioxide, which fills up the balloon. Yeast is actually a type of fungus related to mushrooms.

Hope it helps!!!
