The penicillin will kill the bacteria that were transformed is not a true statement.

Explanation:

The bacterial culture is genetically engineered with recombinant plasmids containing genes resistant to penicillin, hence when treated with penicillin, the bacteria will not be killed.

Bacteria develops resistance to chemicals or drugs like antibiotics namely penicillin over the course and becomes resistant to the drug action. The effectiveness of the drug will either be reduced or eliminated and the bacteria gains the ability to survive, reproduce and grow and increase their colony.

Recombinant bacteria will undergo genetic mutation and can develop resistance against antibiotics like penicillin. The recombinant plasmids further provides extra protection and prevents the entry of drugs or chemicals into the bacterial cell.

klio [65]
The first colorimeter is precise, but it is not accurate. It seems to have a zero error of -5.
We can conclude its precision because the readings are closely grouped, but its lack of accuracy is due to its variation from the actual value. Moreover, the variation is consistently of 5 points lower than the actual value, so its zero error may be -5.

The second colorimeter may be referred to as being accurate.
