As described in "A Note About Bacterial Reproduction -- and the "Culture Bias,"" the organism Epulopiscium does not divide by bi

nary fission. Rather, each cell increases in size and divides to produce multiple daughter cells that are held within the original cell well. After lysis, those daughters are released to repeat the process. Assuming Epulopiscium could be grown in pure culture in the laboratory in broth and on solid media (it currently cannot), which method would be best for measuring the increase in biomass during growth?

In liquid media or broth difference between dry and wet will give biomass of the Epulopiscium.

Explanation:

Biomass of bacteria can be measured by dry or wet mass. Bacteria numbers can be counted by spread plate method under the microscope.

In solid media the colonies obtained are diluted and number of cells will be seen by plate count method or on automated cell counter. The number would help calculate biomass

The biomass will be calculated by measuring wet and dry mass. Equipments required will be:

hydraulic gravity convection oven and centrifugation set up.

A cellulose acetate filter membrane is used which is 47 mm in diameter and 0.45 micron of pore size.

The cells  grown settles down due to gravity. They are stirred to evenly spread in the broth and is kept in centrifuge.

The cells obtained after centrifugation will be taken and wet weight is obtained.

To obtain dry weight the cells are placed in oven for 6 hours to 24 hours. The resultant cells are weighed and dry weight obtained.

Biomass will be calculated by subtracting the wet mass to dry mass. This way biomass is obtained in epulopisicuium. Here the cells will be of different size so on centrifugation 2 or more phases of cells can be seen due to gravity change.

Over successive generations, moths develop spots that resemble eyes on their wings that scare off predators. this characteristic
Sati [7]
In this example of evolutionary development, we can see a selective advantage.
Developing of new characteristics, in this case, the spots on moth's wings is a part of the process of adaptation of organisms to their environment.
The new characteristics are acquired through mutations and natural selection filters the ones that are the most beneficial for the holder.
For example, a  mutation which results in moths having shorter wings is disadvantageous, because it makes the individual who possesses it less likely to survive and reproduce.
On the other hand, developing of spots that resemble eyes can be advantageous, since it enables the holder of the trait to be more successful and more likely to leave offspring.

The red kernel color in wheat is caused by the presence of at least one dominant allelefrom each of two independently segregatin
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

100% red kernel color

Explanation:

R_B_ = Red kernel color

R_bb and rrB_ = yellow kernel color

rrbb = white kernel color

True breeding red kernel x true breeding white kernel = RRBB x rrbb

F1 genotype ratio = 100% RrBb

F1 phenotype ratio = 100% red kernel color plant.

<em>The expected phenotype of the F1 plant is 100% red kernel color.</em>

How does the sun provide energy to carnivors
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Look in explanation

Explanation:

The sun provides energy to plants. The plants are eaten by herbivore/omnivores transferring the energy from the plant to the herbivore/omnivore, then the carnivore eats the herbivore/omnivore which gives the carnivore the energy
