Answer:

It is named SF for <em>Streptococcus faecalis.</em>

The genus Streptococcus will be cultured.

Explanation:

  • A selective media is the one which allows the growth of only certain organism with selective properties to ensure that any other organisms do not grow on the media.
  • <em>Streptococcus faecalis</em> is a gram-positive cocci which contaminates milk and water through the fecal route as it inhabits the gastrointestinal tracts of several mammals including humans.
  • The media in which <em>Streptoccous faecalis</em> grows is termed as SF indicating the first letter of the genus and second for the species and being a selective media it can only culture the genus Streptococcus.

How do mutated tumor suppressor genes affect the cell cycle?
Marrrta [24]
Tumor suppressor genes encode for proteins that inhibit or slow the progression of the cell cycle through a specific stage.they also encode for check point control proteins that arrests the cell cycle if the DNA is damaged or the chromosomes are abnormal. Mutation in the tumor suppressor genes that cause a loss or decreased function would lead to uncontrolled cell cycle leading to abnormal proliferation and the cell may become cancerous.
