Suppose you were interested in the effect of breastfeeding versus formula feeding on the composition of gut flora in newborns. A

s part of your experiment, stool samples from healthy babies in the study get plated on various agar media. You notice that greater numbers of colonies are recovered when samples are plated on blood agar compared to Luria Bertani (LB) agar. After some diligent subculturing, you isolate several bacterial species capable of slow growth on the blood but not on the LB agar. You correctly surmise that these organisms
Choose one:
A. are opportunistic blood pathogens.
B. should be classified as beta-hemolytic.
C. have extensive and complex nutritional requirements not met by LB agar.
D. grow because the blood agar suppresses the growth of faster-growing bacteria.
E. are Gram-positive and, thus, inhibited by the ingredients in LB agar.

Answer:

Option (C).

Explanation:

Luria Bertani is a rich nutritional medium generally used for the growth of bacteria. This media was created by Giuseppe Bertani.

Bacteria shows slow growth on blood but can grow grow easily in LB agar because they have complex and extensive requirement that cannot be met by LB agar. Blood agar is more enriched media and can grow the bacteria that are dependent upon the host organism.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Look at metaphase and anaphase. Suggest the purpose of the spindle fibers during mitosis.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The spindle fibre is necessary to separate the sister chromatids into opposite sides of the cell.

Please find detailed explanation below

Explanation:

Mitosis is the cell division that produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. Mitosis occurs in stages viz: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. The replicated chromosome, aligns at the centre of the cell in the METAPHASE stage and separates into opposite poles in the ANAPHASE stage.

This alignment (at the equator) and separation into opposite pole is possible with the aid of a structure called SPINDLE FIBRES. Spindle is a structure formed from microtubules, which attach to the kinetochores (located in the centromere) of each replicated chromosome to separate them from one another. Hence, the purpose of the spindle fibre during mitotic division is to separate the GENETIC MATERIAL of a parent cell into two daughter cells.

The Physical Activity Guidelines recommend that adults should do the equivalent of ______ minutes of moderate-intensity physical
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is 150 minutes.

Explanation:

On the basis of the Physical Activity Guidelines, the majority of healthy adults should perform at least 150 minutes of moderately intense physical activity in a week in order to remain in a healthy state. Though more amount of aerobic activity would offer even more benefits, however, even a short amount of aerobic activities can also reap healthy rewards.  

The moderate form of aerobic activities comprise activities like mowing lawn, brisk walking, and swimming. This form of physical activity is suggested for all the individuals coming under the age group 18-60 years, unless and until a person is suffering from any kind of specific medical conditions. It is recommended for all the adults irrespective of race and gender.

DNA replication is an important part of cellular division because correct replication-
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Replicating DNA is fragile, and can break during the duplication process. In fact, broken chromosomes are often the source of DNA rearrangements and can change the genetic program of a cell. These changes can trigger a growth advantage in a single cell in your body, and when that cell continues to divide, tumors arise. Fortunately, our cells have defense mechanisms to shield us from these damaging events.
