The decimal reduction time (DRT) to kill 90% of cell present for autoclaving a culture is 1.5 minutes. How long would it take to

kill all the cells if 106 cells were present? What would happen if you stopped the heating process at 9 minutes?

Answer:

10.5minutes

Explanation:

DRT = 90%

Cells present = 10^6

Autoclaving = 1.5 minutes

Solution:

10^6(1.5)10^5(1.5)10^4(1.5)10^3(1.5)10^2(1.5)10^1(1.5)10^0(1.5)0=10.5

it would take it approximately 10.5 minutes to kill 10^6 of the cells.

If i should stop the heating process at 9 minutes this would have effect on some of the microbes as they are still present with 1 bacterium left which makes it not efficient.

Tcecarenko [31]

In the plant, when a cell divides into two daughter cells, we observe in this experiment Mitosis, which is the cell division that allows the plant to elongate and occurs in the meristematic tissues that are at the ends of the plants. Whereas meiosis is restricted to reproductive tissue and forms gametes that will form new seeds through fertilization, carrying genes from one generation to another.

<h3>How does mitosis occur in plant cells?</h3>

In plant cells, division takes place from the inside out – centripetal cytokinesis. In plant cells, cytokinesis is centrifugal, from the outside to the inside: there is the formation of a lamella, which grows from the center to the periphery and separates the two cells.

With this information, we can conclude that through successive mitotic divisions that the zygote (cell generated after the meeting of gametes) manages to originate all the cells of its organism. Mitosis, therefore, is responsible for the growth and development of embryos.
