>   If some of the carbon 12s on a molecule of interest are substituted for
carbon 14, this makes that molecule detectable because it is emitting gamma
radiation.

Many thanks.

That begs the question: could there be any effect from the radioactivity or
the substitution of C14 for C12?  I can believe that it might not make much
difference to a mammal, but a synapse in a bee?

Best wishes
