2. The scientist hypothesized that the mold must be producing a chemical that killed the bacteria. He decided to isolate this su

bstance and test it to see if it would kill bacteria. He transferred the mold to a nutrient broth solution. This solution contained all the materials the mold needed to grow. After the mold grew, he removed it from the nutrient broth and then added the broth to a culture of bacteria. He observed that the bacteria in the culture died. His experiments were later used to develop antibiotics.

Answer:

IF mold is added to a bacteria culture, THEN the mold will produce a chemical that will kill the bacteria.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a testable explanation to an observed problem. A possible solution or possible answer given to a question or problem, which can be tested via experimentation is referred to as HYPOTHESIS. The hypothesis is usually written in an IF, THEN format.

According to this question, a scientist (identified to be Fleming) hypothesized that the mold must be producing a chemical that killed the bacteria and tested it by setting up an experiment whose result turned out to support his hypothetical claim.

Therefore, his hypothesis in an IF, THEN statement is:

IF mold is added to a bacteria culture, THEN the mold will produce a chemical that will kill the bacteria.

</span><span>The two identical daughter cells resulting from mitosis and cytokinesis are identical in the following ways:1. Mitosis occurs when the nucleus of the cell divides into two identical nuclei, each with the same type and number of chromosomes. The cell's DNA is duplicated during this phase. Sometimes the cell's DNA isn't copied properly resulting in cancer-type cells. 2. Cytokinesis is when the cytoplasm divides into two identical daughter cells. Each cell is genetically identical and both are a similar size. </span>
