Answer:
C. Damaged vascular tissue could cause the fruit to not completely develop or even develop at all.
Explanation:
If the vascular tissues such as xylem and phloem are damaged, the fruit does not completely develop because the food that is produced in the leaves does not reach to the seed. The xylem helps in the transportation of water from the soil that is necessary for making of food during the process of photosynthesis so damaged xylem will not produced food and no food will be transported from leaves to seeds and if some food is produced by the leaves the phloem does not transport it to the seeds.

The softest mineral is talc with a hardness of 1 Mohs scale.
Answer:
A serial dilution and the following plating experiment is done in order to determine the actual amount of bacteria/microbes in a specific volume of soil sample. As a standard test, a set volume of the lower dilution is obtained and positioned on a median plate and permitted to increase for the needed amount of time. The amount of colonies is evaluated and thus the overall Colony Forming Units (CFU) is determined by unit volume of the sample plated and therefore the volume of soil sample employed.
Therefore,
The calculation is done using:
CFU/ml = Number of colonies appeared × dilution factor / volume plated
Given,
Number of colonies appeared = 97
dilution factor = 10^(-6)
volume plated = 1/10 = 0.1
This will help us calculate it as:
CFU/ml = 97 * 10^(-6) / 0.1
= 97 * 10^(-7) CFU/ml
This CFU/ml helps determine the amount of bacterial colonies per unit volume of sample plated.
Given,
The original sample as 1g or 1000 mg of soil in its total volume.
Therefore,
The number of bacteria can be calculated using:
Amount of bacteria in original sample
= 97 * 10^(-7) CFU/ml × 1/ 1000 mg
= 9.7 * 10^(-3) CFU/mg
