If we have a plate that has 2500 colonies on it, can we use this plate to calculate CFU's

No, the solution with bacteria in it needs to be diluted in order to be in the range of 30 – 300.

A colony-forming unit –CFU is used to estimate the number of viable (ability to divide by binary fission) microbes in a sample.  

A sample of microbes is diluted and spread on a plate. Then, the number of colonies is counted, assuming that each colony have grown from a single colony-forming unit, or CFU.

Plates with more than 300 colonies are difficult to count while those with less than 30 colonies give statistically unreliable numbers of colonies to count.

Explanation:

Adrenergic drugs are drugs that cause the stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, which is also known as adrenergic nervous system by performing or mimicking the activities of the epinephrine and norepinephrine, or interfering with their release.

It should be noted that, epinephrine and norepinephrine are also known as adrenaline and noradrenaline, this is because they are secreted by the adrenal gland, and this gives rise to the term adrenergic.

Examples of adrenergic drugs are phenylephrine, clonidine and oxymetazolin among others.

Gene flow or migration is the transfer of alleles or genes from one population to another. Select the combination of facts that
Montano1993 [528]

The correct answer to this question is B. Some members of the Fugate family had a genetic condition called methemoglobinemia, that gave a blue color to their skin. The gene causing this disease is an autosomal recessive gene, so to have this condition you need to be homozygotes for this recessive gene. Gene flow was prevalent in the Fugate family since not all of the children had blue complexion, but only four of them. The three children that did not have blue complexion, had the dominant allele, probably through gene migration from another population nearby. Also, since it is easier nowadays to travel, two separate populations could meet more easily. This increases the incidence of gene flow and explains the reduction of the occurrence of the condition.
