Is an example of a technique that determines the absolute age of an object or an event. a. fossil matching b. uniformitarianism c. radiocarbon dating d. the law of superposition

Option (C)

Explanation:

Radiocarbon dating is a technique to determine the age of an object or a fossil. This is also known as the carbon dating method. Here, carbon is used which has a half life of approximately 5700 years. This half life depicts the time required for the object (fossil) containing carbon to decay half of its initial composition. It is a very efficient method and are used to date objects that are comparatively very recent. This unstable carbon-14 changes to a stable nitrogen-14 after it is completely decayed.

Thus, this method helps in determining the absolute age of an object.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

: Meiosis is sometimes called "reduction division" because it reduces the number of chromosomes to half the normal number so that, when fusion of sperm and egg occurs, baby will have the correct number. Therefore the purpose of meiosis is to produce gametes, the sperm and eggs, with half of the genetic complement of the parent cells.
