An organism grew well on TSA plates, a bit slower on MM1 and not at all on MM1 without glucose. The results indicate that organi

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Can grow on MM1.

Explanation:

Organisms that can only grow in a media having specific nutrients included in it are called a fastidious organism, this implies that these organisms have specific nutrient requirements for their growth.
MM 1 represents the minimal media which has basic nutrients present in it, however as the fastidious organisms require some particular or complex nutrients for their growth they can not grow on the minimal media.
Therefore, since the organisms that are given in the question is able to grow on the minimal media MM1, this implies that it is not a fastidious organism.

Which of these sentences describe sources and preservation of genetic variation? Select all that apply.

madam [21]

The correct sentences are the following:

A) Antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations is caused by natural selection of bacteria that inherit mutations that make them resistant to the antibiotics.

C) Crossing-over causes a shuffling of allele combinations during meiosis as the alleles from each parent form new combinations on homologous chromosomes.

E) When two bacteria are linked during conjugation, the donor cell passes DNA to the recipient cell which causes genetic recombination.

Explanation:

These three options are associated with the generation and preservation of genetic diversity
