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.
