To determine how old Neandertal fossils are, researchers must use radiometric dating. They use an isotope with a half-life of 12

,000 years, and find that fossils from one Neandertal have 1/256th (=1/28) of the isotope found in currently living organisms. How old would you predict these Neandertal fossils to be?

Answer:

96000YEARS

Explanation:

Given that 1/28 = 8 half lives

this means that 8 half lives ,

and the given fossil should have 1/28 of the isotope

8 half lives = 1200 x 8

= 96000years

therefore  the predicted Neandertal fossils is 96000years

Answer:

Option (C).

The dilation of feeder arterioles carry blood directly into the blood vessels. The pre capillary sphincter in the systemic capillary beds can open due to the different factors.

The local release of histamines do not cause the dilation of feeder arterioles and does not cause the opening of systemic capillary beds. Histamine chemical is involved in the immune response of the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
