Consider an experiment in which an Hfr strain of E. coli bacteria with the StrS, his , met alleles in its genome is mixed with a

n F- strain of E. coli with the StrR, his-, and met- alleles in its genome. After the cells have been cultured together for 8 hours, the mixture of cells is plated on minimal media containing Streptomycin. Which genotype do you expect to be most common among the colonies that grow

Answer:

F-: StrR, his+ and met+

Explanation:

the strain Hfr is a high-frequency strain of recombination that includes the F plasmid (fertility factor). Therefore, the whole genome sequence is able to be passed via Hfr to its receiver, but it needs a long duration of physical contact with the recipient because the recipient gets a gene (long time physical contact is seldom attained) and retains the F strain. Also, genomes from the F-cells are not passed backwards to the HF cells. Therefore, only F strain with tolerance to Streptomycin and capable of synthesizing its amino acids on limited media can thrive in this situation. Which is F-: StrR, his+ and met+ recombining.

Autopsy conducted on an individual who had died of pneumonia revealed bluish-green pus filling the lung. The causative agent of
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The agent causing the pneumonia, where bluish-green pus was found, is most likely Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Explanation:

Pseudomona aeuriginosa is a gram-negative bacteria that is one of the main causes of hospital-acquired infections, including pneumonias in mechanically ventilated patients.

One of the characteristics of P. aeuriginosa is the formation of a bluish-green pus, since it has the capacity to form cyanide-based blue pigment upon contact with the organic tissues it infects. This is the reason why previously P. aeruginosa was called a pyocyanic bacillus.

<em>     The other options are not correct because the only bacterium that produces blue-green pus is P. aeruginosa.</em>

How can a refute hypothesis lead to a new investigation
IrinaVladis [17]

A refute hypothesis is a hypothesis that has been refused, not accepted.

When a hypothesis is refused, the scientists that proposed it will try to correct it or to create a similar more applicable one, and that is how new investigations could occur in this case.


Hope it helped,

Anton [14]

Answer:

Cation-exchange capacity is a measure of how many cations can be retained on soil particle surfaces. Negative charges on the surfaces of soil particles bind positively-charged atoms or molecules, but allow these to exchange with other positively charged particles in the surrounding soil water
