In genetics when an organism is heterozygous that means that it contains 2 different alleles for a specific gene, heterozygous refers to the genotype
Homozygous means the organism carries 2 of the same alleles.
For example there are two alleles for the gene of eye color
B- is the dominant allele for brown eyes
b- is the recessive allele for blue
So if a person's genotype is like Bb then he is heterozygous
but if he is like BB or bb then he is homozygous
Out of the following choices, fossil fuels is the largest reservoir of carbon in the world. A couple of other reservoirs of carbon are dissolved in the ocean and in plants.
The seeds she planted in the mud grew quicker because the mud is holding nutrition for the corn. The soil is a good guess to make, but the mud is more dense and moist. The water wouldn't have had more nutrients than the mud, just because the mud holds breakdown matter and other things from other plants.
Answer:
A)11,460 years
Explanation:half of a radioactive element represent the time take for half of it's components to dissociate or disintegrate.
For carbonn14 that undergo an emmision to form a stable carbon 14,it moves thus
14C(1 part) ______14C(0.5 parts)_____14C(0.25parts)
i.e it undergo two radioactive decay which means two half lives .
Since each half life is 5780 years ,the age will be 2×half lives= 2×5780=11,460 years
