Which of the following statements about gamete formation during meiosis is false?
a. recombinant gametes contain combinations of alleles not found in the parent cell.
b. complete linkage results in the formation of only parental gametes.
c. parental gametes can be formed only if there is no crossing over during meiosis.
d. parental gametes contain the same combinations of linked genes

The correct answer of the given question above would be option C. The statement above gamete formation during meiosis that is false would be this, parental gametes can be formed only if there is no crossing over during meiosis. If crossing over occurs, half of the gametes formed are parental and the other half are recombinant. Hope this answer helps.

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.
