Answer:
The correct answer is: B. pure culture.
Explanation:
- Sputum sample contains varied types of bacteria.
- When this sample is cultured on a growth medium all the different types of bacteria grow on it.
- A single distinct colony of bacteria is formed from by multiple divisions of a single bacterial cell.
- In the given growth medium distinct colonies of bacteria are formed.
- Each such colony is formed from a single bacteria.
- When such a single distinct colony is inoculated in a separate medium and bacteria is grown in that, then a Pure culture of bacteria is generated.
- A Pure culture can be defined as such a culture which is comprised of single type of bacterial cell, formed from a single bacteria.
Answer:
C. The pond experienced an algae bloom.
Explanation:
From the graph we see that the fish population continue to decrease with time. As time passed on, the fish population keeps suffering a decline. In retrospect, the population of the algae continued to increase.
- We can ascribe this to the pond experiencing an algae bloom.
- It could be due to condition called eutrophication.
- When nutrients become very much in water and more algae is produced.
- This leads to dissolve oxygen amount reducing in the water body.
- Therefore, fishes will die off.

Answer: The observation "A" leads us to conclude that the finches populations are from two different species
Explanation:
According to the biological concept of species, <em>a set of individuals are from the same species if they are able to reproduce and leave fertile offspring</em>. This is key so one species can be successful and perpetuate through time. If they cannot leave descendants, then the species will be extinct. However, it’s possible that two individuals from different species mate and have descendants, but they cannot leave fertile offspring. When they are from different species, the offspring will be sterile and it is called a hybrid.
In the case of the South American finch, the island's finch population and mainland's finch population belong to different species because their offspring is sterile. To have different features, as different feather's color, or to have other dietary preference is not enough to say that they are different species. This is because within the same species, individuals can have variations. For example, we can different eye color and belong to the same species.
