biology

In maize, a $D s$ or $A c$ transposon can cause mutations in genes at or near the site of transposon insertion. It is possible for these elements to transpose away from their original site, causing a reversion of the mutant phenotype. In some cases, however, even more, severe phenotypes appear, due to events at or near the mutant allele. What might be happening to the transposon or the nearby gene to create more severe mutations?

chemistry

The worked example earlier : “Carbon dating cannot be used for objects older than about $60,000$ years (about $10$ half-lives). After that much time has passed, the activity of carbon- $14$ has fallen to a level too low to be measured reliably”, explains why carbon dating cannot be used to date objects that are older than $60,000$ years. Explain why it also cannot be used to date objects that are only a few years old.
