Answer:

1/10^4

Explanation:

Given that 500 colonies were observed on ampicillin plate after transformation. 1 colony represents 1 transformed bacteria because each colony is assumed to have grown from one single bacteria. Hence, 500 bacteria had transformed from 5*10^6 bacteria.

Fraction of cells that got transformed = (Number of cells that were transformed/ Number of total cells)

= 500/(5*10^6)

= 1/10^4

Hence, 1/10^4 cells were transformed in experiment.

Triss [41]

Among the tasks in coping with life-threatening illness described by Kenneth Doka, the chronic phase is characterized by "living with the disease".

Kenneth Doka (1995–96) divides the process of dying into three phases, namely the acute, the chronic, and the terminal phases of dying, during which the individual initially is given the diagnosis, then lives with the disease and ultimately surrenders to death.

This phase can be quite long and the supporters may become comfortable in their caregiving role and adjust to the notion of death. This is an important adaptation since a great deal of the care for the terminally ill is given by the family members.

Doka (1998) notes that this phase "is often a period of continued stress, punctuated by points of crisis".
