When adult amphibian skin harbors populations of the bacterium, Janthinobacterium lividum (Jl), chytrid infection seems to be in

hibited. Which of the following represents the best experimental design to test whether this inhibition is real?
A) Inoculate uninfected amphibians with Jl, and determine whether the amphibians continue to remain uninfected by chytrids.
B) Inoculate infected amphibians with Jl, and determine whether the amphibians recover from infection by chytrids.
C) Take infected amphibians and assign them to two populations. Leave one population alone; inoculate the other with Jl. Measure the rate at which infection proceeds in both populations.
D) Take infected amphibians and assign them to two populations. Inoculate one population with a high dose of Jl; inoculate the other with a low dose of Jl. Measure the survival frequency in both populations.

Answer:

C: Take infected amphibians and assign them to two populations. Leave one population alone; inoculate the other with Jl. Measure the rate at which infection proceeds in both populations.

Explanation:

In scientific investigations, the best way to determine the effect of certain experimental factor on the population of study is to have a baseline for comparison. This is usually referred to as controlled experiment.

<em>In the case of the observation that chytrid infection in amphibians seems to be inhibited by Janthinobacterium lividum, the best way experimental design is to get a population of amphibians suffering from the disease, divide them into two groups and subject them to the same conditions except the introduction of Janthinobacterium lividum to the skin of one of the groups.</em>

<em>A suitable method can thereafter be employed to measure the rate at which infection proceeds in both population. If indeed, the bacterium has the capacity to inhibit the infection, the rate of infection in the group with the bacterium will be significantly less than that of the group without the bacterium. </em>

The correct option is C.

What property of water allows the<br> oceans’ water to store carbon dioxide?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The difference in pCO 2 is related to the amount of carbon that is converted from CO 2 gas to other nongaseous carbon species in the sea water, like bicarbonate and carbonate ions. This so-called "buffer capacity" is what allows the oceans to hold so much carbon.

Please help me, In your opinion ( I'll give Brainliest):
MrMuchimi

I think this depends on you  because it your choice for yourself but I'll just state some information or facts about this career.

  • The field is a specialization in biomedical engineering that can take four to eight years to master.
  • Genetic engineering has been applied in numerous fields including research, medicine, industrial biotechnology and agriculture. In research GMOs are used to study gene function and expression through loss of function, gain of function, tracking and expression experiments.
  • Success rates are incredibly low; on average, less than 10% of embryos survive to birth and a smaller percentage of those born survive to adulthood.
  • The field of genetics allows you to work in medical as well as scientific research.
  • To become a genetic engineering research scientist, you need a doctoral degree in a biological science.
  • Genetic engineers can earn anywhere from $44,320 to $139,440 a year.

Hope this helps and if you could mark me as brainliest. Thanks!
