Here is a list showing how the bacteria grows:
Begin - 15
1st hour - 30
2nd hour - 60
3rd hour - 120
4th hour - 240
5th hour - 480
6th hour - 960
7th hour - 1,920
8th hour - 3,840
9th hour - 7,680
10th hour - 15,360
11th hour - 30,720
12th hour - 61,440
As you can see, the number of bacteria present is doubled at the end of each hour, as the question states. However, the question is not asking for the total number of bacteria at the end of the 12th hour; it is asking for the bacteria GROWN during the 12th hour.
Because there were 30,720 bacteria at the end of the 11th hour, and 61,440 at the end of the 12th, the number of bacteria that grew during that last hour must be 61,440 - 30,720 = 30,720 bacteria.
(P.S. the answer would be 61,440 if it was asking for the TOTAL number of bacteria at the end of the 12th hour)
Answer:

Answer:
Explanation:
Its important to have resources that way the reader can go back and verify the information that is on the research paper for their own reasons
Answer:
1. chromosome: tight coils of DNA
2. Eukaryote: a cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus
3. Gene: a specific sequence of DNA nucleotides that carry hereditary traits
4. Prokaryote: a cell whose nucleus is not bound by a membrane
5. Trait: genetic characteristic of an individual
Explanation:
Chromosomes are the thread-like structures that appear during cell division. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled with its packing proteins.
A cell is defined as eukaryote or prokaryote on the basis of the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus. The cells that lack the membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles are called prokaryotic cells. Example: bacteria.
The cells that have a membrane bound nucleus in which DNA is present are called eukaryotic cells. Example: Plant cells.
A stretch of DNA that code for a particular protein and thereby regulate specific genetic trait is called a gene. Genes are present on chromosomes and are carried from one generation to next to maintain the genetic traits.
The features of living beings regulated by the gene are called trait. Example: skin color, eye color, etc.
Prokaryotes and eukaryotes are the two different types of cells.
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria while prokaryotic cells do not but the ribosome is the only organelle that can be seen in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes perform the same functions that is protein synthesis, however, eukaryotic ribosomes are much larger than prokaryotic ones.
Thus, the correct answer is option D
