According to the article I've read in the website of Harvard Health Publishing (Harvard Medical School), the causes of overweight or obesity have been implicated by more than 400 different genes. Genes provide overweight in so many ways like metabolism, appetite, cravings, distribution of fats, and stress eating. Although it depends on one person to another person. Researchers have said that 25% of predisposition to be overweight is accounted to genes, while 70%-80% for genetic influences. These are just some of the reason how much of your weight depends on your genes:
-For much of your life, you have been overweight
-Overweight is seen on your parents or relatives, your likelihood to be developing obesity is as high as 80% if both of your parents are overweight

Answer:

A liter is a cubic decimeter, which is the volume of a cube 10 centimeters × 10 centimeters × 10 centimeters (1 L ≡ 1 dm3 ≡ 1000 cm3).

Explanation:

Hence 1 L ≡ 0.001 m3 ≡ 1000 cm3, and 1 m3 (i.e. a cubic meter, which is the SI unit for volume) is exactly 1000 L.

After incubation, you observe that your streak-plate has heavy, uniform growth but no isolated colonies. Which of the following
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Option 3 and 4 are most likely correct

Explanation:

<em>Option 3</em>: We know that area 1 would contain heavy streaking and not single colonies. Therefore, if the loop crosses area 3 and enters area 1, it will definitely result in heavy streaking again.

<em>Option 4</em>: We always need to sterilize properly the loop when streaking in different areas. If we don't do it, it is possible that the loop contains a lot of bacteria that would be streaked again.

Options 1 and 2 are incorrect because, according to question, there is a uniform growth but no isolated colonies. So, contamination or mixed culture would not produce uniform growth streaking rather mixed with other bacterial types.
