Question
Studying the decay of radioactive isotopes in dead organisms helps scientists to identify fossilized remains. The ratio of C-12 to C-14 in the atmosphere is 1 x 1012. The table shows this ratio inside the body of three organisms.
Organism | C12/C14 Ratio |
---|---|
E | 8 x 1012 |
F | 1 x 1012 |
G | 4 x 1012 |
What can most likely be concluded from the above information?
Only Organism F is alive, and Organism G died before Organism E. Only Organism F is alive, and Organism E died before Organism G. Only Organism E is alive, and Organism G died before Organism F. Only Organism E is alive, and Organism F died before Organism G.

Scientists found the remains of a large organism that had no resemblance to any current form of life on Earth. The organism also had no resemblance to any fossils ever found, including the very few fossils ever recovered from Vuvatu (fossils are rarely ever found in Vuvatu since volcanic landscapes are generally not conducive of fossilization). The world buzzed with the possibility that this was a crash site for an extraterrestrial body. An extensive study of the uncovered remains was conducted by many research facilities. Their conclusions regarding the organism’s features are listed below: Physical features: The organism has a surprisingly soft and malleable exoskeleton that reflects ambient light, creating mesmerizing patterns. In fact, the remains highly suggest that most of its body parts are soft and blubbery rather than rigid.
