A scientist isolates a microbe from a contaminated water source. She thinks that the organism might be a new bacteria that is ca

pable of surviving in the presence of lead, a heavy metal. She makes tubes of growth medium containing either no lead, 0.1 mg lead, 0.25 mg lead, 0.5 mg of lead or 1 mg of lead. She inoculates each tube with the 10 x 103 cells of the new organism and then incubates the inoculated medium at 37oC. After 48 hours, she examines the tubes of medium and finds that there is no growth in any of them. However, she finds that the bacteria grew fine in medium that did not contain any lead. She decides to repeat the experiment using lower concentrations of lead than those she used initially.
what conclusion can the scientist in this scenario make from her result?
1) all contaminated water contains high levels of lead and other heavy metals
2) the amount of lead used in the experiment killed the bacteria being tested
3) all experiment should be repeated three times or more
4) lead-contaminated water does not contain any bacteria at all
5) the test bacteria take more than 48 hours to grow in the laboratory when incubated at 37 degree Celsius

Answer:

2)

Explanation:

The positive control is the treatment where bacteria grew without lead. Since positive control indicates the presence of bacteria in the experimental conditions, it is possible to confirm that they only death in presence of this metal. However, it is important to note that it is imperative to repeat this experiment three times and also to include a negative control in order to confirm these results.

Data from several papers by chargaff: for example,

YES.The distribution of bases in sea urchin DNA and salmon DNA follow Chargaff's rules because the percentage of A bases is approximately equal to the percentage of T bases, and also the percentage of G bases is approximately equals to the percentage of C bases in both species. According to Chargaff's rule the amount of guanine should be equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine should be equal to thymine.

A comparison of karyotypes from two carrot plants cloned from the same carrot root tissue should show that all cells of these ca
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

C. Diploid condition

Explanation:

A Karyotype is the pictorial display that shows chromosome arrangement and number in a cell. The Karyotype shows any abnormalities in the nuclear material (chromosomes). In a carrot plant that was cloned from carrot root, the clones should possess the same features as the original plant.

A Karyotype of both plants i.e. clone and the original plant should show that their cells have a diploid number of chromosomes i.e. Two sets of chromosomes. Since a carrot plant is a diploid organism.

Show the following as a food chain: omnivore, autotroph, herbivore
Thepotemich [5.8K]

omnivore⇒herbivore⇒autotroph

this is because an autotroph makes its own food (photosynthesis) so it doesn't have the need to eat other organisms. Herbivores eat only plans (remember this with the word herb is a type of plant) and an omnivore will eat either meat or plants so it can eat either of the things below it.
