What items are used to identify the genetic makeup of an unknown organism?

Ciliates possess two different nuclei a diploid micronucleus which carry the germline of the cell. It also has a large, polyploid macronucleus which can be termed the vegetative nucleus, it takes care of general cell regulation, it expresses the phenotype of the organism. The macronucleus is generated from the micronucleus. The micronucleus passes the genetic material to offspring, but it does not express its genes. The macronucleus provides the small nuclear RNA for vegetative growth.

relative dating involves things like higher layers are most recent than rocks lower in the sequence. this can be extended to the known sequence of fossils. rocks containing rabbit fossils are later than those containing dinosaur fossils.  

absolute dating methods mainly use radioactive elements that have known rates of decay and produce recognizable products. for example potassium 40 decays to produce argon. once a rock has solidified the argon is trapped. by measuring the argon and potassium0 you can get an accurate number for the age.  

some other methods are good for archaeological ages. dendrochronology involves recognizing the sequence of tree rings. the orientation of magnetized particles in baked clay can be used to date a fire.

hope this .. .
