Explain in detail how traits are passed from biological parents to offspring. include the following vocabulary words in your writing: inherited trait, gene, dna, and chromosome.

The offspring could gain its traits from its parents via mitosis or meiosis. Meiosis is the one that creates genetic diversity. Chromosomes from both parents are located in a cell. Chromosomes are coiled up DNA, which has all the genes of the parent in which it came from. The chromosomes gets separated randomly, and then the cell divides. The offspring-cells now has some DNA from the mother, and some DNA from the father. 

Now the cells continue their division until a baby is born. The baby is born with certain traits. It's traits are inherited from the mother and the father, so they are inherited traits. 

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.

3. is true i think i should be right
