Imagine that you are a scientist hard at work in a cancer research lab. You and many of your colleagues are hoping to discover n

ew powerful drugs that could prevent deaths from cancer.
Your research team has observed that cancer cells have a lower survival rate when exposed to samples of a certain species of fungus. To study this further, your team isolated several chemicals from the fungus, including one known to affect cell metabolism. You hypothesize that it is that chemical that lowers the survival rate of cancer cells.
1. Statement(s) supported by the data
A- Cancer cells treated with the chemical have a lower survival rate than cells that are not treated.
B- .After 5 days of chemical treatment, less than 50% of the cancer cells are alive.
2. Statement(s) NOT supported by the data
A- Cancer cells treated with the chemical have a higher survival rate than cells that are not treated.
B- After 10 days without chemical treatment, more than 90% of the cancer cells are alive.
C- This chemical will be useful for treating colon cancer, but not necessarily for other types of cancers.
D- This chemical will be useful for treating all types of cancers.

Answer:

The answers are a) Cancer cells treated with the chemical have a lower survival rate than cells that are not treated and d) This chemical will be useful for treating all types of cancer.

Explanation:

Since the research finds that cancer cells have a lower survival rate when exposed to a particular species of fungus. In addition to this new chemical compound could be implemented as a cancer drug.

Agar is an important component of media because A. bacteria require agar to grow.
Alik [6]

C. Agar provides a solid surface for bacterial growth.

Agar is a substance obtained from red algae which when added to a culture media, provides a solid surface for the growth of bacteria. When the agar is not added then the culture media remains as the broth and when the agar is added then the broth gets solidified.

Agar is added 1.5-2% in the broth to get solidified. The growth of the bacteria depends on the amount of agar added. Agar is used for the growth of bacteria because it has gel like properties which holds the nutrients evenly and the bacteria can use it accordingly.

How does natural selection “drive” evolution?
yanalaym [24]

Because predators and prey must learn (or adapt) new ways of survival. Deer over time have learned to be much more sensitive to the surrounding environment, therefore, a deer's predator must also adapt/evolve and learn how to beat the deer at it's own game and catch it for food. Animals must evolve/adapt to any given environment. If humans lived in Antarctica for thousands of years, we would eventually be able to withstand the cold due to evolution. People who live in the Himalayas today actually breath normally at such high altitudes whereas if someone who lives at sea level went to where the Himalayan people lived, the result could potentiality be fatal because the body has not adapted/evolved at that point to withstand minimal oxygen.
