You have a culture of yeast that is at a concentration of 6.74 x 10^6 cells/ml. You dilute the sample 1:100, and then 1:100 agai

n, and finally you dilute the sample an additional 1:3. You add 0.1 ml of the final dilution to a spread plate.
1. Assuming that most of the cells in the original culture were living, how many CFUs do you expect to count on your spread plate the next day?

Answer:

22 cells

Explanation:

The concentration of numbers of cells = 6.74 x 10⁶ cells/ml

Dilution stages includes =  1:100  ;     1:100    &        1:3

The consecutive dilution stages can be calculated as:

= (6.74 x 10⁶) × (1/100)(1/100)(1/3)

=  222.42 cells/ml

= 2.22 × 10² cells/ml

So after addition  0.1 ml of the final dilution to a spread plate, the number of CFUs ( Colony forming units) we expect to count will be:

= (2.22 × 10² cells/ml)(0.1 ml)

= 22.2 cells

≅ 22 cells.

Which of the following statements is correct regarding the evolution of flight?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

d.The wing-assisted incline running theory postulates that wings were initially used to maintain balance while climbing up slopes.

Explanation:

Two theories were given to explain the origin of avian flight. The top-down theory suggested that the birds' ancestors were tree dwelling species. They took help of wings to glide from tree to tree in order to avoid predator or catch prey. The bottom up theory suggested that the birds' ancestors were ground dwelling species. They took help of wings to maintain a balance and provide a lift for efficient running.

Wing-assisted incline running was a mixture of both the above theories and gave a balanced view point. According to it, birds' ancestors used wings to maintain a balance while running up inclined slopes. The wings helped them to save energy while scaling slopes and eventually a flight mechanism was also developed.

Its scientific classification involve following points: Kingdom is Animalia; Phylum is Arthropoda; Class is Insecta; Order is Lepidoptera; Family is Pieridae; Genus is Phoebis and Species is P. philea.

The environment of this species is in tropical scrub, parks, fields and edges of the forest. The creature takes nectar from plants of red colour.  The larvae depend on the species Cassia. Wingspan is between 68 and 80 mm. In Florida there are 2-3 generations a year, and one in the northern region of the range with winged adults from mid to late summer.
