The answer to this question would be: by producing buffer
The pH of optimal growth of bacteria might be different. Some bacteria can grow in an acid condition called acidophile, other live in base condition called alkaliphiles and the rest live in neutral pH condition called neutrophiles. The bacteria can maintain their internal pH by producing acid, base or buffer. If the surrounding pH is too acid, the bacteria can reduce the H+ concentration by producing base. If the condition is too alkali/base, the bacteria can produce acid by doing fermentation.
Most, maybe all, bacteria have their genome DNA tethered to their cell membranes, so it is in the cytoplasm but its not really floating around. Plasmids in bacteria however are free floating. This is why it's so easy to isolate plasmids from bacteria with centrifugation after lysing.
A trait is the organism's feature. So, a trait would be eye color. A phenotype would be hazel. An allele is a gene. It can be recessive or dominant.
Answer:
M phase: 4.8 hr
Prophase: 2.4 hr
Prometaphase: 0.72 hr
Metaphase: 0.24 hr
Anaphase: 0.84 hr
Telophase: 0.6 hr
Explanation:
Mitosis, also known as M phase, is the process of nuclear division after interphase, which is followed by cytoplasmic division via cytokinesis. Mitosis can be subdivided into the following phases: Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. In this case, 160 cells are in interphase (for a total of 200 cells), thereby 40 cells are in mitosis >> 200 - 160 = 40 cells. Since the complete cell cycle requires 24 hours, it is possible to calculate the average duration of each phase:
M phase: 40/200 = 0.2 x 24 hr = 4.8 hr
Prophase: 20/200 = 0.1 x 24 hr = 2.4 hr
Prometaphase: 6/200 = 0.030 x 24 hr = 0.72 hr
Metaphase: 2/200 = 0.01 x 24 hr = 0.24 hr
Anaphase: 7/200 = 0.035 x 24 hr = 0.84 hr
Telophase: 5/200 = 0.025 x 24 hr = 0.6 hr
