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.

How did Mendel's<br> experiments provide evidence for the principle of<br> independent assortment?
Mrac [35]

Answer and Explanation

Mendel selected a group of dwarf plants and sel pollinated them by dusting mature pollen grains onto them. He then collected the resulting seeds and planted them and noticed these seeds germinated and grew into dwarf plants only.

He also selected tall plants and self-pollinated them. the resulting seeds he observed that they grew into a micture of tall and dwarf plants. He took the seeds of tall plants only and repeated the experiments for many generations until he obtained only tall plants.

He then crossed cross-pollinated purebreeds tall garden pea with pure breed variety. He planted the seeds and observed the offsprings were all tall plants. He crossed two of these tall offsprinf from the F1 and planted the resulting seeds. the second filial generation consisted of a mixture of tall and dwarf plants.

He counted these plants and noted that the ratio of tall to dwarf was about 3:1. From this, he postulated that there are now laws governing inheritance.The law of independent assortment and law of segregation.
