ontact lenses, worn by the perpetrator/victim, represent a potentially good source of DNA. This is based on their exposure to touch DNA and the release and regeneration of epithelial cells from the eye.

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.

Drag each tile to the correct box. the body monitors the levels of oxygen in the blood to regulate breathing. isabel is running in a marathon and is near the finish line. she feels out of breath. how will her nervous system work to generate a reaction? arrange the tiles in chronological order. isabel's breathing rate increases. sensory receptors in the arteries detect low oxygen levels. the brain sends signals through motor neurons. sensory neurons generate an impulse. the central nervous system relays an impulse to certain brain regions.
