Answer: b. It only arrest growth of vegetative cells
Explanation: An antimicrobial agent is a substance that kills o control the growth of microorganisms, for humans this is very important in medicine or agriculture among others.
This agent should act quickly and being stable that help it to make it cheaper, also should not harm humans or other host of the microbial organisms.
The agent is not useful if only kills vegetative cells because it is not preventing the reproduction of the organism specially in fungi which use sexual reproduction as a backup for asexual cell division, so they will keep spreading across the host.
The independent Variable or sugar
Answer:
One band of light density and one band of heavy density.
Explanation:
According to conservative model of replication, the original strands do not separate from each other during replication. Hence, after replication the old strands are together and the new strands are together.
Here, cells were grown in 14N medium first so 14N was used for DNA replication and all DNA molecules had 14N. When the cells were transferred to 15N medium, only 15N was available for replication process. New DNA molecules would be synthesised using 15N (15N15N) and old DNA molecules have 14N (14N14N). Hence, in density gradient one band will be of light density (14N14N) and one band will be of heavy density (15N15N).
