Answer:

The correct option is : a. diameter    

Explanation:

The Kirby–Bauer test or the disk diffusion test, is a method to determine the antibiotic sensitivity of the given bacteria. This test involves the use of antibiotic discs to determine the effect of antibiotics on the bacteria.

In this test, the wafers having antibiotics and the bacteria are placed on the agar plate and incubated. If the antibiotics present stops the growth of the bacteria, there will be an area around wafer with no bacterial growth, such an area is known as the zone of inhibition.

<u>The </u><u>diameter of this zone of inhibition</u><u> is measured to determine the </u><u>antibiotic sensitivity of the given bacteria</u><u>.</u>

Answer:

O4) All of the answer choices are correct.

Everyone that has teeth can be identified if they have a dental record. A forensic dentist can see what diet the person had, did they smoke, the age, the sex of the person and they are a source of DNA. We can examine the bite mark of the person in question and find out who they are. So teeth are very useful even when everything else on the remains is very badly damaged.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "The magnetic field of earth keeps changing because of the suns activity"

Explanation:

The magnetic field of Earth is not a steady force, and is affected by external forces such as the suns activity, particularly during strong solar/geomagnetic storms. The changes in the magnetic field of Earth explains why the auroras Are sometimes seen at northern Ohio. The auroras are created by energetic electrically charged particles accelerating along the magnetic field, if the location of the magnetic filed changes, the location of the auroras change as well.
