Answer:

C) Gene flow

Explanation:

Gene flow refers to the movement of alleles between local populations. It results from the migration of individuals. Two adjacent populations can exhibit gene flow due to the mating between their individuals and can have significant evolutionary consequences as it does not allow the reproductive isolation of these populations. In the given example, the two mice populations are present on either side of a river. Mating between the mice of the two populations resulted in gene flow and maintained resemblance among their members.

You INCORRECTLY perform an acid-fast stain on a smear from a mixed culture of Mycobacterium smegmatis (acid-fast) cells and Stap
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

In acid-fast staining, carbon fuchsin is used as a primary stain which dissolves the mycolic acid present in the cell wall of <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis </em>and penetrates through it which results in staining <em>Mycobacterium</em> red.

Staphylococcus aureus cell wall does not contain mycolic acid so carbon fuchsin does not penetrate its cell wall, therefore, it becomes colorless after destaining with acid alcohol.

After destaining step methylene blue is added to stain non-acid-fast bacteria blue. So if I mistakenly forgot to use methylene blue during the procedure <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis</em> will appear red due to carbon fuchsin present in their cell wall and S<em>taphylococcus aureus</em> will appear colorless because it is destained.
