Answer: CFU/mL = 14200 CFU/mL
Explanation:
Microorganisms are very small and difficult to count directly. Instead, a laboratory technique is used to count CFUs (Colony Formation Units). This involves making dilutions of a microbial suspension and spreading it on thin layers of agar containing nutrients for growth in Petri dishes also called agar plates. After incubation under ideal conditions, some plates are completely covered with microbial growth; some have little or no growth; and some are covered with individual isolated "spots", which are microbial colonies. Since a colony may consist of a single organism or a group of microbes, the dots represent a CFU.
To calculate the viable count of the stock culture, you have to count the number of colonies, multiply by the dilution and the result will be the plate count in CFU.
So, the equation is:
CFU/mL = Number of colonies / (Volume trasferred to plate x dilution blank)
100 microliters = 0.1 mililiter
1/10 = 0.1 (dilution factor)
Replacing the information from the question:
CFU/mL = 142 / (0.1 mL x 0.1)
CFU/mL = 14200 CFU/mL

Each time a cell divides into two daughter cells, its full genome is duplicated; for humans and other complex organisms, this duplication occurs in the nucleus. This minimizes the incidence of errors (mutations) that may greatly affect the resulting organism or its offspring. ...

Answer: The correct answer is -
D) in a host, it is capable of reproduction.
Explanation:
Virus can be described as a microscopic, infective, non living agent that typically possesses genetic material (DNA or RNA) that is surrounded by a proteinaceous coat (capsid).
It can not replicate by its own and thus it uses host machinery for replication. In other words, it multiplies within host organism. This is the reason that it can be called as living.
Thus, option D) is the right answer.
