The answer is : randomization was not used in sample selection. The major difference between experimental and quasi-experimental designs is lack of randomization in sampling selection.
Answer:
Explanation:
Bacterial count in stock- 1.85x10^6 cfu/ml
Dilution methods
Take 100 uL or (0.1ml) from stock and add to 900ul (0.9ml) saline and mixed it- this makes 10^1dilution.
Now take 100ul from 10^1 dilution and add to next 900ul saline this is 10^2 dilution, similarly do upto 10^5 dilution.
Then take 100ul from 10^ 4 and 10^5 dilution seperately and plate on LB agar plate seperetely and count the colonies.
Cfu/ml formula= (No.of colonies x dilution factor)/0.1 ml
So suppose, 18 colonies formed on 10^4 dilution then total no. Of cells in stock will be 18x10^4/ 0.1= 18x10^5 cfu/ml.
If we dilute 10^4 or 10^5 that's leads to colony count of 18-19 colonies on 10^4 dilution while 2 colonies should come on plate of 10^5 dilution.
I hope that it is correct
Well, as asexual reproduction suggets that offspring is genetically identical, you can assume that the "mother cell" qlso has 24 chromosones and thus may potentially have a genetic disorder
