← ScienceWhich 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.
