Answer:

The correct answer is option E. "None of A-D is false; all are true statements".

Explanation:

The standard plate count involve different considerations including the ones listed:

A. It utilizes a standard dilution procedure called serial dilution. Most of the time culture plates have thousands of cells growing in it, it is necessary to use a standard dilution in order to make the counting feasible.

B. It measures both live and dead cells in the liquid sample. The standard plate count procedure uses a dye such as crystal violet to differentiate among live and dead cells. Both should be counted and the percentage of viability should be reported as well.

C. A countable plate in the procedure is one having 30 to 300 CFUs on it. Between 30 to 300 CFU is considered a countable plate since less than 30 will be make errors in dilution to be considerable and more than 300 is difficult to count and tend to form cell aggregates.

D. It is a viable count method to quantitate cell density of a liquid sample. This is true as long as the cells in the liquid sample are able to growth in a standard plate as well, since the cells must adhere to the counting device in order to perform the procedure.

Six centromeres are observed in a prophase cell from an insect,how many pairs of chromosomes are present

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Six centromeres are observed in a prophase cell from an insect, there are 20 pairs of chromosomes present. 

Explanation:

Centromeres is defined as the part of the DNA which are held responsible for the directional changing of chromosomes.

And these chromosome gets divided into 2 daughter cells while undergoing the process of mitosis and meiosis. 

Chromosome is basically defined as a thin structure as of a threadlike which is made out of nuclei acid and protein which is located at the nucleus of various living cells

Cells will usually divide if they receive the proper signal at a checkpoint in which phase of the cell cycle? see concept 12.3 (

NeTakaya

The correct answer is the interphase.

The cell cycle consists of three phases: the interphase (G1, S, G2) the mitotic (M) phase, and cytokinesis. The first checkpoint of the cell cycle is G1 checkpoint which is between G1 and S phase when cell checks its size, nutrients, molecular signals, DNA integrity. The second checkpoint is G2, just before the mitotic phase, when cell checks DNA integrity and DNA replication. Those two checkpoints are the ones before division, other like M checkpoint is during the mitosis.

maria [59]

Answer:

In grassland ecosystem, first trophic level is the producer. Producers are the organisms which makes their own food, here the producer are grasses. The second trohic level contain herbivores which feed on these grasses. These herbivores are eaten by secondary consumers which belongs to third trophic level and secondary consumers are then eaten by tertiary consumer.

The population of producers are very high so it is placed at the base while tertiary consumer are placed on the top due to low population.
