Plaque assays are often used to estimate the number of virions in a sample of a particular volume (the titer). The count is give

n as plaque-forming units. Which of the following is NOT generally a concern that must be considered in evaluating the results of plaque assays?
a.The plaques must be at a density that can be counted on the plate; high and low densities may result in inaccurate counts.
b.The plaques must be clearly visible in order to be counted accurately; this technique cannot be used with viruses that do not cause clear cellular damage.
c.The largest problem is that single viruses may create multiple plaques, resulting in overestimates of the number of viruses present.
d.The largest problem is that the count may underestimate the total number of viral particles, as not all virions may be able to cause infection.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Needs optimum environmental conditions.

Explanation:

Seedling, a flower and a vegetable needs suitable conditions for growth and development. All of the three stages of plant life cycle requires optimum water, fertilizers and light intensity in order to grow and develop at full speed. Seeds need a specific temperature in order to germinate. Most seeds germinate when the soil temperature is between 68 and 86 Fahrenheit. In the same way the plant also needs specific temperature for bearing flowers. All the stages requires optimum water in the soil for absorption.
