Hi there!

In order to do fossil comparative anatomy and branching diagrams to explain the evolution of organism, scientists use <u>radiocarbonation </u><u>method</u>.

Explanation:

Carbon-14 can combine with oxygen in the atmosphere to create carbon dioxide, which is then absorbed by plants and makes its way through the food chain. The amount of carbon-14 in living plants and animals matches the amount in the atmosphere, but when plants and animals die, they no longer absorb carbon-14.

Because radiocarbon has a known rate of decay, the scientists can now determine about how long it has been since the plant or animal was alive. <u>The lower the amount of radiocarbon, the older the object.</u>

(Sometimes, C-12 is also used)

The system that enables 4 nucleotides to dictate the sequences of millions of proteins is called the __________.
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Genetic code

Explanation:

Genetic code refers to the set of rules by which the information encoded in the genetic material is translated into the proteins. The genetic code is present on the genes in the form of triplets of nucleotides  called codons which specifies the specific amino acid.

The codon system of the genetic code rules allows the 4 different nucleotides to form specific amino acids by the combination of the four different nucleotide in the triplets.

Thus, Genetic code is the correct answer.

The amount of matter in the Earth system remains constant over time. The forms and locations of the matter stored within the sys
Burka [1]
The correct answer is all of these.

Matter and energy on Earth are never destroyed or created out of nothing, but just transferred or converted to another form.
 The inorganic matter is transferred to the living things from the physical environment by many biological processes like photosynthesis ( CO2), nitrogen fixation, absorption of the minerals by plant roots and many more.
Matter can then be transferred between different organisms through the food chain.
Eventually, the matter will return to the physical environment when organisms decompose and the cycle will start again.
