As we have mentioned before each radioactive isotope has its own decay pattern. Not only does it decay by giving off energy and matter, but it also decays at a rate that is characteristic to itself. The rate at which a radioactive isotope decays is measured in half-life. The term half-life is defined as the time it takes for one-half of the atoms of a radioactive material to disintegrate. Half-lives for various radioisotopes can range from a few microseconds to billions of years. See the table below for a list of radioisotopes and each of unique their half-lives.

Answer: The correct answer to the fill in the blank is Mitosis.

Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of two daughter cells having the same number of chromosomes as compared to their parent cell. Thus, by producing more number of identical cells, mitosis helps in the growth and repair of tissues.

Thus, after removal of cyst from the liver of Bob, the cells would grow and repair the area through mitosis.
