A loopful of bacteria containing 1000 bacterial cells is inoculated into a nutrient broth and incubated. After a negligible lag

phase, the culture goes into exponential growth for two hours. The generation time for the bacterium is fifteen minutes. Which equation is the correct one to determine the number of cells present after two hours of log phase growth?
a. 1000 X 28
b. 1000 X 16
c. 1000 X 22
d. 1000 X 2 X 2 X 15

Answer:

<h2>a.</h2>

Explanation:

Given;

Initial population of bacteria = 1000;

exponential growth for 2 hours;

generation time = 15 minutes;

so,

Bacteria are doubling in every fifteen minute,

In staring, there are 1000 bacteria and after fifteen minutes they become 2000 and after next fifteen minutes bacteria again doubles and become 4000   and so on for next two hours.

so after 2 hours, number of cells of  bacteria present are 1000 X 2^8

Total bacterial cells after two hours= 256000.

An error occurs when the DNA of a cell is copied. However, the cell does not divide after the error is detected. Which statement
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
The statement would be "An Error during S phase is corrected during the G2 Phase"

S phase is used to describe DNA Replication ,

In G2 Phase, the cells are making sure that all the problems are fixed before they enter mitosis. It's common for the cells to do apoptosis (cell suicide) if they cant fix the error
