Question 379 • Career Explorations A
Geologists can estimate the absolute age of once-living material by measuring the amounts of carbon-14 and its decay product, nitrogen-14. As carbon-14 decays into nitrogen-14 at a predictable rate, their relative amounts indicate how long ago the organism died. The correct choice is the amount of carbon-14 and nitrogen-14 in the remains.
