Answer:
A) That resistance in bacteria is produced due to inactivation of ampicillin by the beta lactamase enzyme. This enzyme is expressed by the bla gene found in the plasmid. This enzyme is secreted into the culture medium, thereby inactivating ampicillin. Thanks to this inactivation, the bacteria colonies will be able to develop. After a day of incubation, only those bacteria that took the plasmid that gives them resistance to ampicillin will grow after transformation. After prolonged incubation, two types of colonies can be observed in the culture medium. One large colony with ampicillin resistance, and another small colony, both of which are sensitive to ampicillin.
B) Large colonies are characterized by being resistant to ampicillin. When Ramón isolates the plasmid, he will have the gene that provides resistance to antibiotics. Said plasmid can be used again on those bacteria that are sensitive to ampicillin.
On the other hand, satellite colonies are sensitive to ampicillin. These types of colonies do not have the plasmid that contains the gene that gives ampicillin resistance. It is not possible to isolate any plasmids from these satellite colonies. These satellite bacteria will not be able to grow if they are transferred to a plate containing fresh ampicillin, while large colonies, which possess the plasmid that gives them resistance to ampicillin, will be able to grow on that plate.
Explanation:
<u>Answer:</u> The freezing point of solution is 5.35°C
<u>Explanation:</u>
The equation used to calculate depression in freezing point follows:

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

Or,

where,
Freezing point of pure solution = 5.5°C
i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (For non-electrolytes)
= molal freezing point elevation constant = 4.90°C/m
= Given mass of solute (naphthalene) = 2.60 g
= Molar mass of solute (naphthalene) = 128.2 g/mol
= Mass of solvent (benzene) = 675 g
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the freezing point of solution is 5.35°C
Answer:
<h3>The answer is 1.63 %</h3>
Explanation:
The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

From the question
actual mass = 9.80 g
error = 9.80 - 9.64 = 0.16
We have

We have the final answer as
<h3>1.63 %</h3>
Hope this helps you
I believe it is less dense.. that is why ice floats on water
