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.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

Evolution is the process of change in all life forms from one generation to the next, and evolutionary biology studies how this evolution takes place. Every generation of organisms inherits traits owned by their parents through genes. <u><em>Changes (called mutations)</em></u> in this gene will produce new traits in the offspring of an organism. In an organism's population, some traits will become more common, while others will disappear. traits that help the survival and reproduction of organisms will be more likely to accumulate in a population than unfavorable traits. This process is called natural selection. The income of more offspring than the number of parents along with the inheritance of these traits is an additional fact about life that supports the scientific basis of natural selection. In a long time, this isolated population will become a new species.

Marianne is comparing two animals: a fruit fly and a fruit bat. She asks, "Do a fruit fly and a fruit bat share a common ancesto
Sonja [21]

The answer is; YES

All organisms share one common ancestor in the beginning of life. Different species have branched at different times from common ancestors hence he evolutionary tree looks like tree called a cladogram. The nodes represent the common ancestry while branches depict divergence. Therefore even fruit flies and the fruit bats even though they do not belong to the same species shared a common ancestor at one time in history.

MrRissso [65]

Answer: Closed

Explanation:

At  resting membrane potential( RMP) sodium channels remained shut, this is because , previously  in depolarisation,the  voltage  gated sodium  channels  were opened for sodium to diffuse  into the Axon. However   these channels closed  after reaching their refractory period,s.

Therefore a  change  in the extracellular concentration of sodium will not  open them

What is this an example of:
Karolina [17]

Answer:

A) a cow who's coat color is roan (red and white) : Co- dominance

B) A red flower and a white flower produce a pink flower: Incomplete dominance

C) In rabbits there are 4 different versions of the gene for coat color- Multiple alleles

Explanation:

Co-dominance can be described as a phenomenon in which the two different phenotypes of the parents can be seen in the offspring produced by them. For example, In the option A, the cow had a parent with red coat colour and a parent with a white coat colour. Both these traits were seen in the offspring.

Incomplete dominance is a phenomenon in which parents of two different phenotypes give rise to a new phenotype in the offspring which is not present in both of the parents.
