Oxygen-16 and Carbon-12 are stableisotopes of elements O and C respectively. Hence, they do not have half-lives. But Carbon-14 andUranium-238 are radioactive isotopes. Among them Carbon-14 has relatively short half-life as about 5730 years while Uranium-238 has a long half-life as about 4.5 billion years.

Answer is. uranium-238

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is the kind of reproduction that requires two organisms (male and female) to form an offspring. The male organism produces gametes called SPERM while the female organism produces gametes called EGG. These two gametes come together in a process called FERTILIZATION to produce a zygote, which develops into an offspring.

In sexual reproduction, gametes are produced by organisms involved via a process called MEIOSIS. Meiosis, however, reduces the chromosome number of the gametes by half. However, one process unique to only meiosis and sexual reproduction is called CROSSING OVER.

Crossing over is the process whereby chromosome segments is exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosome. This process causes a recombination of chromosomes (alleles) in such a way that the gametes will be genetically different from the parent organisms (genetic variation). According to this question, sexual reproduction leads to more genetic variation than asexual reproduction due to the process of CROSSING OVER that occurs in sexual reproduction.

How does crossing over increase diversity?
Sphinxa [80]

Crossing over does helps in genetic diversity as it provides with new genes combinations. In crossing over, chromatids exchange genetic information during the meiosis. This mixing of genetic information provides the offspring with its own unique genetic makeup with some similarities with the parent’s genetic system. Crossing over is very beneficial in terms of giving the offspring more variability that helps in becoming more resistant to a disease and be a better version than parents.
