Question

33p is a radioactive isotope of phosphorus. can 33p be used to make a radioactive nucleotide?

Answer 1

Yes, we can use 33p used in making radioactive nucleotide because phosphorus changes into phosphate group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phosphorus is the artificial radioactive element, mainly isotopes of Uranium and Polonium are used in making radioactive elements. 33p(Half life of 25.34 days) and 32p(Half life of 14.263 days) are the radioactive type of phosphorus.

Therefore, we can use 33p used in making radioactive nucleotide because phosphorus changes into phosphate group.
