If a bacterial cell do not contain pili, it would not affect the formation of bacterial colonies. If bacterial cells, do not contain any pili, the foundation or formation of any bacterial colonies within the host or a living organism will not be affected. A Pili is used to attach bacterial cells to surfaces or other living cells.

Answer:  

Pili is the protein structure formed outside the cell wall of bacteria. The main function of pili is the bacterial cell attachment. It facilitate bacteria to attach at a substrate to derive nourishment. Also, helps in sexual reproduction in bacteria by forming the sex pili between two bacterial cells and allows the exchange of genes between these cells. Bacterial colonies can form on aquatic as well as in terrestrial habitat. Bacteria to hold the substrate properly pili is required. There are chances that bacterial colonies wash away from their substrate or get removed because of external environmental consequences. Therefore, absence of pili will affect colony formation.

How do you think that Karl von
sergey [27]

Answer:

Karl von Frisch is best known for two major discoveries about honey bees. First, he demonstrated that honey bees have color vision, and published these findings in 191*. Second, in 193* he showed that honey bees use a dance language to communicate food locations to other bees.

Explanation:

Figure 1. Grids for the color vision test. The training color, marked with T, is blue in both cases; all other squares are shades of gray. The left box shows how the grid appears to an animal with color vision. The right box shows how the same grid may appear to an animal without color vision. The training square appears to be the same shade of gray as other squares in the grid. If the test animal cannot see in color, it will confuse the training square with other squares matching its shade of gray.

This clever test for color vision can be applied to any animal which can learn to recognize a feeding station using visual patterns.

The dance language

von Frisch observed that once one honey bee finds a feeding station, many other soon appear at the same station. This suggests that the first bee recruits other bees to the food. How might honey bees recruit help in collecting food? von Frisch¹s discovery of the dance language of the honey bee required careful determination of the correlations between movements of bees inside the hive and the locations of feeding stations. He found two types of dance. The round dance (Figure 2A) causes bees to look for food a short distance (up to about 50 meters) from the hive. The waggle dance (Figure 2B) tells bees the direction and distance to fly to find more distant food sources. Scout bees use these dances to recruit assistance in collecting food resources.
