Answer:

Means to increase drag and prevent sinking is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Plankton avoid sinking by increasing their surface area and decreasing their density. Spines slow down sinking by adding surface area without increasing density. Defense against predation would be to sing below. Not the opposite.

During the course of an E. coli transformation laboratory, a student forgot to mark the culture tube that received the kanamycin
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The plate that contains Kanamycin in it will have growth of colonies of bacteria that have been transformed with the plasmid which has the kanamycin-resistant gene. The bacterial cells that did not get transformed with this plasmid will not be able to grow into colonies in the presence of kanamycin.

While the negative control, a plate with any other antibiotic,such as ampicillin or tetracyclin, added to it will not allow growth of any bacteria on it.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
