What name is given to cultures for identification of organisms, as well as the identification of sensitivities of the organism t

o antibiotics?
Biology
1 answer:
liberstina [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Culture/sensitivity

Explanation:

Culture is a kind of test that detects infection-causing bacteria or fungus.

If the microorganism that causes infection grows, the result is positive; if it doesn’t, then the culture is negative.

The sensitivity test tells us what kind of medicine or antibiotic will be suitable to treat the infection.

Hence, the answer is justified.

1. How would the predation of pythons on rabbits affect the population of other large predators such as bobcats and alligators?
Inessa [10]

Q1:

Answer:

Studies have reported that due to predation of pythons on rabbits, the population of other predators is badly affected.

Bobcats are a natural predator of rabbits thus they come in a competition with pythons for food. As pythons are more powerful so they target rabbits more easily than Bobcats. The population of Bobcats has been declined by 90% or more due to the establishment of pythons in the Everglades.

<em>Alligator mississippiensis </em>or American alligators are also abundant in Everglades and just like Bobcats they compete with pythons for their food. They can even kill pythons if pythons are smaller in size than them, but python will kill alligator if he is of smaller size. Although rabbits are food for both alligator and Python but Alligator is a key stone specie and it has very important ecological role, because it digs holes in land that retain water upon rainfall. These water hole provide water in the extreme dry weather and help in survival of other small specie like insects and birds.

So, we can expect the population of Alligator, Bob cats and other small insects and birds to decline rapidly if Python population kept on increasing with same speed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q2:

Answer:

There is no doubt that Pythons pose serious threat for both humans as well as survival of other organisms like Alligators and birds. However, I donot think that “Python challenge” is a reasonable way to kill or remove Pythons. Because It can threat the lives of many individuals who take part in competition, although they are trained but still they are nor professionals and get training of only few weeks so it is not safe competition.

There should be some strategy of introducing natural predators like Brown beers, Cougars and Alligators which can kill python naturally without staking the life of humans at risk.


Hope it helps!

Which type of selection tends to increase genetic variation? A. Disruptive selection B. Directional selection C. Stabilizing sel
aliina [53]

Answer:

Which type of selection tends to increase genetic variation? A. Disruptive selection B. Directional selection C. Stabilizing selection

The Answer is option A (Disruptive selection)

Explanation:

Selection can either shift the mean value of a trait, reduce the trait's variation, or increase its variation.

Genetic variation which allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population is a source of phenotypic variation as it refers to differences in all the hereditary information of members of the same species.

Disruptive Selection is important in maintaining variation and initiating speciation as it Increases Variation by favoring alleles corresponding to more extreme phenotypes. But for it to occur, the mean phenotype has to experience the lowest fitness. Disruptive selection affects the frequency distributions of alleles and genotypes within a population.

Disruptive selection is based on the variance of a trait in a population as it increases genetic variance by equalizing the frequencies of existing alleles at polymorphic loci (a genetic loci with two or more alleles). Disruptive selection maintains and may even increase variation in natural populations by favoring extreme phenotypes, individuals with extreme values for a trait have greater reproductive success than individuals with intermediate values.

C. At what height would the pomegranate have the same potential energy as the melon? (1 point)
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Given a set of assumptions which are given below, the height at which the pomegranate will have the same potential energy as the melon is 39.19 meters.

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy refers to the acquired innate energy of an object due to its elevation above the surface of the earth.

This energy is the result of gravitational pull or force acting on the object.

In other to determine at what height a pomegranate and a watermelon will have the same potential energy we need to know the other factors in play.

Gravitational Potential Energy (E<em>p</em>)= <em>mgh</em>

Where m = Mass (kg)

            g  =  gravitational field strength (N/kg)

            h  = height (m)

           E<em>p </em>= gravitational potential energy ( <em>j </em>)

Let us assume that the

  • An average pomegranate weighs about 0.255146Kg
  • An average melon weighs about  10Kg
  • g is always constant at 9.8 N/kg

Note that melons weight much more than pomegranates.

   

So, let's calculate for the E<em>p </em>of the melon at the height of  1 meter

E<em>p</em> = 10 x 9.8 X 1 = 98<em>j</em>  

Using the above assumptions, we do a goal seek using Microsoft Excel. Please see the attached image.

Calculation shows that the Height (h/Meters) at which the E<em>p </em>of both veggies become equal is 39.19m

This can be verified by inserting the figure and multiplying it. It can also be calculated as follows:

That is

E<em>p = 98j</em>

<em>m = </em>0.255146kg

<em>g= 9.8kg</em>

<em>h=  ?</em>

98= 0.255146 x 9.8 x <em>h</em>

98 = 2.5004308<em>h (we divide both sides by </em>2.5004308 to make h the subject matter<em>)</em>

<em>h = 98 / </em>2.5004308

<em>h = 39.1932462198</em>

Which is approximately 39.19

Over lunch, Rebekah chats with you about a guy to whom she is very attracted. Based on research examining interpersonal attracti
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Her friend

Explanation:

Rebekah is attracted to her friend to whom she is talking about that guy over the lunch. When a person is attracted to someone, he starts sharing his personal situations of life. When a person open up about his personal in front of someone it means he is attracted to that person and feels confidence in telling him. Rebekah is also in the same situation where she feels she is attracted to that guy but actually she is attracted to her friend with whom she is having chat about that guy.
