What is RC dating? Also how would the DNA test work. Is there a known rate of change in Mitochondrial DNA over time?

RC=radiocarbon dating. The rates of change are estimates based on segments of modern DNA that show up in unchanged form in very old samples; that’s the way posited splits in the evo tree are assigned lengths of time.
