The correct answer would be humus.

Humus is the organic material of the soil formed by the decomposition of the dead plants and animals. It is thick and dark in color (brown or black) and can also be produced by the process of composting.

It is very for the soil as it adds moisture to the soil, enhances the structure of the soil which increases the aeration and drainage.

It favors the growth of organisms (such as earthworm) helpful for the growth of plants and adds lots of nutrients to the soil, specially nitrogen.

In contrast, loam is a type of soil which is composed of silt, sand, and clay in 40-40-20 ratio. Regolith referred to the superficial layer covering the solid rocks or bedrock. It is formed by the accumulation of soil, dust, broken rocks etc on the bedrock.

Lastly, talus referred to the slope which is formed by deposition of shattered rock debris at the base of a cliff.

A virus is combined with a host cell in molten nutrient agar and then poured over a sterile nutrient agar plate. After the agar

maria [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The virus can infect the host.

Explanation:

As the host and the virus both remain in the agar plate, the virus is capable of infecting the host cells.
The host cell multiplies and grows by utilising the nutrient from the agar medium.
After the virus particles infect the host, they replicate inside the host and produce new progeny virions which get released out of the host cell by killing it.
The newly formed virions infect other host cells and the process continues.
The killing of the host cells by the viruses result in the generation of clear zones on the agar plate which is also known as the zone of exclusion.
In the zone of exclusion region, the host cells have been killed by the viruses.
