Which outcome occurs when radiocarbon dating analyzes ancient bone?

A)Isotope quantity informs estimated specimen age
B)Collagen structure confirms the specimen origins
C)Amino acid chirality suggests time periods
D)DNA fragmentation traces biological lineages

💡 Explanation

Radioactive decay reduces carbon-14 content. By measuring the fraction of carbon-14 via beta decay, we determine elapsed time back from the death because dating method determines relative isotope amounts, rather than molecular data or degradation information.
