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>

In mink brown for color is dominant in silver blue for color if a heterozygous brown man is mated with a silver blooming and a o
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

It is expected that 25% of the offspring are silver blue.

Explanation:

As was shown in the question above, in a population, the brown color is dominant, while the silver blue color is recessive. Thus, the brown color can be observed in dominant homozygous (AA) or heterozygous (Aa) organisms, since the dominant allele inhibits the expression of the recessive allele. However, the silvery blue color is only observed in homozygous recessive organisms (aa), since the recessive allele is only expressed in the presence of another recessive allele.

In the figure attached below, we can see that if a heterozygous brown organism (Aa) crosses with a silvery blue individual (aa), the offspring will be composed of 50% brown individuals (Aa) and 50% silvery blue individuals.

True or false? A mating between a tetraploid individual and a diploid individual produces biologically fit offspring.
Katyanochek1 [597]

A cross between a diploid individual and a tetraploid individual produces triploid offspring.  There are many species of plants that are triploid, but those come from crosses between two triploid individuals. In those cases, the chromosomes from one parent match up with the chromosomes from the other parent just fine. The same is not true with a cross of a tetraploid and a diploid.  In that case, one third of the chromosomes are unmatch, causing many offspring to die, to be sterile, or to be generally unfit.  Long story short, the answer you seek is False.
