minutes. When given to you the concentration of bacteria is 2x10^3 bacteria per ml (milliliter). Assuming space and nutrients are unlimited during your experiments. How many total bacteria would you after five hours of growth?
a. 2,048,000,000 bacteria

b. 4,096,000 bacteria

c. 1,024,000 bacteria

d. None of the answers given

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

A bacteria divides by binary fission which divides a parent bacteria into the two daughter cells and generation time refers to the average time difference between two consecutive generations.

The bacterial cell grows by the exponential function that is by 2^{number of generation} x initial population of bacteria.

In the given question,

<u>Initial population</u>

the initial population of bacteria - 2x 10³ per ml

So per liter, the bacterial population will be 2 x 10 ⁶

<u>Generation time</u>

1 generation time of bacteria is 30 min.

so 5 hours will have- <u> </u>\frac{300}{30}= 10 generations

<u>New bacterial population</u>

Using formula<u>  </u>2^{number of generation} x initial population of bacteria

2^{10} x (2 x 10⁶)

= 1048 x (2 x 10⁶)

2048 x 10⁶

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

Which of these is a piece of evidence supporting the theory of evolution?
ycow [4]

The C option is Correct.

  • All the Galapagos finches exist on the same island.

Galapagos finches is a piece of evidence supporting the theory of evolution.

Darwin's finches comprise a group of 15 species endemic to the Galápagos (14 species) and Cocos (1 species) Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The group is monophyletic and originated from an ancestral species that reached the Galápagos Archipelago from Central or South America.

On his visit to the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin discovered several species of finches that varied from island to island, which helped him to develop his theory of natural selection.

10. How does oxygen cycle between plants and animals?a. Plants and animals both release oxygenb. Plants and animals convert wate
mina [271]

Plants release oxygen into the atmosphere during photosynthesis while respiration by plants and animals and the decomposition and decay of dead organisms releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These three produce maintain a cycle in which plants and animals depend on and benefit from each other.

Do you think Peacocks would be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Why or why not?
Slav-nsk [51]

Peacocks would not be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

Explanation:

This can be justified by the mating patterns of the female peacocks. They do not choose their mates randomly but look out specifically for bright attractive plumage in their male partners and then select them.

Hardy-Weinberg's Equilibrium of evolution mechanism was based on facts like random mating, no natural selection,  mutation, absence of gene flow, and infinite population size.

They stated that organisms mate randomly with each other without any specific or a particular preference in the phenotypes of their opposite mates
