Please explain why the inoculated plates are inverted during incubation.
sasho [114]

Answer:

Petri plates are incubated upside down to prevent contamination.

Explanation:

The plates are always incubated inverted or turned upside down on their covers during storage. This is done to prevent evaporation if plaque is stored for long periods, which can affect the growth efficiency of bacteria, or allow contamination by multiplying unwanted organisms such as mold.

Once the plaques have been filled with a damp suspension of bacteria, it should be allowed to evaporate shortly before overnight incubation. However, a moderate amount of moisture will still be present. If plaque is not inverted during incubation, bacteria will not be able to attach to the culture medium properly, which will either prevent them from growing and forming colonies properly or will encourage the growth of undesirable microorganisms.

Any of these results will invalidate the experiment. In addition, any condensation or moisture can cause streaking, which will make it difficult to select and analyze separate colonies. After bacteria form colonies, plaque is also stored upside down to maintain moisture levels.

A group of cells is assayed for DNA content immediately following mitosis and is found to have an average of 4 picograms of DNA
damaskus [11]

Answer:

b: 8;8

Explanation:

Mitotic or meiotic cell division constitute the m phase of the cell cycle. At the end of the m phase, the new cells enter the interphase stage of the cell cycle. The interphase is further sub-divided into;

  • <em>the G_0 phase,</em>
  • <em>the G_1 phase,</em>
  • <em>the S phase; and</em>
  • <em>the G_2 phase</em>.

The G_0 phase is essentially a resting phase. Cells that do not need to divide except when necessary move into this phase after exiting the m phase.

Actively dividing cells enter the G_1 phase after exiting the m phase. Cell development and growth takes place. From there, the cells enter the S phase where DNA replication/synthesis takes place. The cells then enter the G_2 phase where proteins are synthesized in preparation for division or m phase.

At the S phase, the amount of DNA a cell carries is doubled but the chromosome number remains the same. For example, if a cell enters the S phase with 2 g of DNA containing 10 chromosomes, at the end of S phase, the amount of DNA would have come 4 g while the number of chromosomes will remain 10.

Hence, if the average amount of DNA in the assayed cells immediately after mitosis is 4 picograms, the amount would be 8 picograms at the end of S phase and will still remains 8 picograms at the end of G_2 phase.

The correct option is b.
