Good morning!! The purpose of both a dichotomous key and a field guide's purpose is to identify organisms. The only difference between the two is the a dichotomous key just uses descriptions to identify the animal with no pictures, but a field guide uses pictures to identify the organism. Another thing that separates the two is that the dichotomous key gives questions/descriptions that describe the organism, whereas the field guide uses a brief description of the animal. Hope I helped!!

Contributing factors that lead to Xenophobia

Furkat [3]

Sorry its a very long answer-
1.) Failure to maintain the rule of law
The government's repeated failures to bring levels of violent crime under control contributed to an environment which saw people resort to violence without fear of arrest or successful prosecution.
2.) Border control

3.) Corruption

4.) Employment

5.) Education
This has been government's biggest failure and carries much of the blame for the high unemployment levels. It is arguable whether current state education is in its totality any better than that under apartheid. Only 1% of black matriculants achieve a good HG maths pass.
The education system is a good example where policy failures in one area compounded those in another.
6.) Slowing economic growth
7.) Foreign policy

8.) Service delivery

9.) Race relations

Assume that one of the disinfectant/antiseptics tested using the disc method had a clear zone of inhibition and to your surprise

o-na [289]

The presence of the minute growth near the disc signifies that the bacterial innoculum contains mutant microorganisms that are able to grow in the presence of toxic substances.

<h3>What are zones of inhibition?</h3>

The sensitivity testing in a microbiology laboratory is done to determine the effect of antibiotics on various bacteria organisms

The zone of inhibition when a disk method is used signifies the area of media where bacteria are unable to grow, due to presence of a drug that impedes their growth.

If there are presence of minute growth near the disc, it means that the bacterial innoculum contains mutant microorganisms that are able to grow in the presence of toxic substances such as disinfectants.

If these mutant bacteria organisms are not cleared by the disk method, it means that they cannot be killed by the disinfectant/antiseptics that is being tested.

In natural selection, what must be true of traits that are passed down through generation?

Radda [10]

Natural selection is the process by which individuals who are best suited to the environment tend to leave (on average) more offspring than others.

Evolutionary changes take place over many generations and through millions of years of natural selection. For the genes to survive, they must be among the strongest.
