In drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, curved wings "I" and purple eyes "r" are two linked recessive genes found on chromosomes 2. The dominant wild type alleles for those genes are long wings"L" and red eyes "R" a)describe the expected ratio of offspring in the f2 generation of these genes were located on different chromosomes
b)the results in the f2 generation of these flies were: 40 long winged, red eyes; 40 curved winged, red eyes; 10 long winged, purple eyes, and 10 curved winged, red eyed. how many map units apart are the genes for curved wings and purple eye color?

240 is the answer

answer: carbon 14 can only be used to determine the age of the organisms that were once living, and igneous rocks are non living.

explanation:

carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of the sample by estimating the amount of carbon 14 present in the sample and then comparing it with a reference standard.carbon 14 is a isotope of carbon which is radioactive and unstable. carbon 14 is assimilated by all plants and animals throughout their life from carbon dioxide. however, one the organisms die they stop this assimilation and the carbon 14 content starts to decrease.by knowing how much of carbon 14 is left in an organism after his death, one can estimate the age of the organism. the materials whose age can be estimated by carbon 14 method are the organic compounds. however, some inorganic compounds such as aragonite   shell can also be dated.however, if we consider the igneous rocks it is a non living component which never accumulated carbon 14 in it and thus, we cannot use carbon 14 dating method to estimate its age.

Cuz i said so. which gives it to b
