Once the organism dies the amount of carbon-14 decreases exponentially.

The exponential, radioactive decay of carbon 14 is used to estimate the death dates of organic material.

Living organisms have approximately the same ratio of C12 to C14 in their tissues. Once the organism dies C14 decays into nitrogen 14. Decay of C14 to nitrogen 14 changes the ratio of C12 to C14. The ratio of C12 to C14 in dead material can be compared to the ratio when the organism was alive to estimate the date of its death. Radiocarbon dating can be used on different samples such as bone, cloth, wood and plant fibers.

A cell biologist carefully measured the quantity of DNA in grasshopper cells growing in cell culture. Cells examined during the
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

100 units

Explanation:

The interphase of the cell cycle includes three stages: G1, S, and G2. During the S phase of interphase, the cell enters the process of DNA replication. DNA replication duplicates the existing DNA molecule and doubles the DNA content of the cell. The cell accommodates the newly formed DNA in two sister chromatids of chromosomes. If a cell of grasshopper contained 200 units of DNA in the G2 phase, the cell would have 100 units of DNA in the G1 phase. The S phase would have doubled the DNA content and the G2 phase had 200 units.
