While discussing pathogens that attacked gymnosperms, Dr. Smith used the name white fir to describe the tree illustrated here. Although the tree was familiar in appearance, several scientists, especially those from other countries, were not sure what tree Dr. Smith was referring to. To best convey the exact name of an organism to others in your field you should

A) Translate the common name, white fir, into Latin.

B) Use the scientific name as designated by taxonomists.

C) As a group, decide on an alternative that everyone understands.

D) Translate the name into the language used by most scientists involved.

C) is the correct option

Explanation:

To best convey the exact name of an organism to others in same field one should as a group, decide on an alternative that everyone understands

Names are important because they allow people throughout the world to communicate unambiguously about animal species because there are sets of international rules about how to name animals and zoologists try to avoid naming the same thing more than once, though this does sometimes happen

These naming rules mean that every scientific name is unique

The genus is the first level of taxonomic organization, in a way, because all species that are thought to be most closely related, are placed together in a genus

Scientific names are often descriptive also, suggesting something about the animal

Common names are not unique because of which it can lead to confusion about what animal is being referred to and what their relationships are to other animals

Explanation:

Answer from: Quest

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.
