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)
