No and yes. It depends on the way you define activity. Carbon-14 undergoes radioactive beta decay. The activity of Carbon-14 is given in terms of disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon. So, if you have a 100 gram sample and a 1 gram sample, there will be 100 times more disintegrations per minute with the larger sample. But typically, we are more interested in the time it takes a certain percentage to decay. Time values like half life will be the same for large and small samples.

What is used to create a large sample of DNA for testing for a small sample of DNA?

A technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used to create a large sample of DNA from a small sample. PCR amplifies specific regions of DNA by making millions of copies, allowing for further analysis and testing on the amplified DNA.

How reliable is drawing a conclusion based on too small a population sample?

Drawing a conclusion based on too small a population sample is not reliable because the sample may not accurately represent the entire population, leading to biased or inaccurate results. It is important to use a sufficiently large and diverse sample size to ensure the validity and generalizability of conclusions.
