Bacteria grow in a culture at a rate proportional to the amount present. Initially, 300 strands of the bacteria are in the cultu

re and after two hours that number has grown by 20 percent. Find (a) an expression for the approximate number of strands in the culture at any time t and (b) the time needed for the bacteria to double its initial size.

Answer:

(a) number of strands (n) = time (t) ÷ proportionality constant (k)

(b) The time needed for the bacterial to double its initial size is 3.36 hours.

Explanation:

(a) Let the rate (time) be represented by t and the amount (number) of strands of bacteria be represented by n

t is proportional to n, therefore, t = kn (k is the proportionality constant)

Since t = kn, then, n = t/k

(b) Initial amount of strands = 300

Amount of strands after 2 hours = 300 + (300 × 20/100) = 300 + 60 = 360

k = t/n = 2/360 = 0.0056 hour/strand

Double of the initial size is 600 (300×2 = 600)

Time (t) needed for the bacterial to double its initial size = kn = 0.0056×600 = 3.36 hours

Answer:

The correct answers would be maintain chromosome number through generations  and cause genetic variations by recombination.

In Meiosis a cell divides into four daughter cells all of which have half the number of chromosomes present in a parent cell.

It helps in the formation of gametes in sexually reproducing organisms.

These gametes (one from father and one from mother) fuse together to form a zygote. It re-established the chromosomal number as that of the parent.

In absence of meiosis, the chromosomal number would have doubled after each generation.

In addition, the meiosis also increases the genetic variation among the population with the help of crossing over which occurs during the pachytene stage of prophase I.

During this event, genetic information is exchanged between the non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes. It produces a new combinations of genes that are different from either parent.
