distilled water. While the four disks were soaking in their respective solutions, she streaked a sterile nutrient agar dish with a culture of E. coli bacteria. Then, she placed each disk carefully onto the nutrient agar dish, placed the lid on the dish, taped it shut, and incubated the dish at 37°C for several days. The diagram shows how the nutrient agar dish looked on Day 1 and Day 4. The shaded portion of the plate on day 4 indicates the bacterial growth. What is the control in the experiment? A. Disk soaked in disinfectant 1 B. Disk soaked in disinfectant 3 C. Disk soaked in distilled water D. Disk soaked in disinfectant 2

By asking which is the control it would mean the experiment is unaffected and kept the same.

That means the answer is C because water does not affect the bacteria

How many amino acids differ between the monkey and the human sequences?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

8 amino acids differ between the monkey and the human sequences.

Explanation:

The genome mapping has now made it possible to identify genes that are present on a chromosome. Genetic mapping is also being used to study the similarities between organisms which has helped a lot to understand the evolutionary history among organisms and to assemble the phylogenetic lineages.

Scientists have found the genome of the monkeys to be the most similar to humans with a difference of just 8 amino acids between them. Hence, justifying the hypothesis that humans have evolved from monkeys.
