The half life of C-14 is about 5730 years and 12.5% is 100% x (.5)^3 so 3 half lives of the C-14 have occured. Now all you do is multiply 5730 years by 3 and get 17190 years. That's pretty old!

Does mitosis copy the original strand?
Yes ,In mitosis , the original strands split into 2 parts with the help of enzymes forming "Y" shaped split .The exposed ends of the strand ,two new complementary strands are synthesised. So the duplicated strand of DNA contains 50% of the original strand and rest of the 50% is synthesised.
When an alpha particle is emitted the nucleus of the original element?
