In semiconservative DNA replication, each new double helix that will form will have 1 polynucleotide strand that is from the old DNA molecule and is an Old or Parent strand, and will have a polynucleotide strand from the newly synthesized one, the new DNA strand.
A organism can be both a primary/secondary consumer by eating both plants and animals, this makes a animal a omnivore.
Answer:
D) A dihybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for two characters that are being studied, and a monohybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for only one character being studied.
Explanation:
When we do a monohybrid cross, we look at one characteristic at a time. When you do dihybrid cross, you are looking at characteristics.
Monohybrid cross example:
If black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b) what is the probability of black fur in an offspring between two dogs heterozygous for the trait?
Bb x Bb
B b
B BB Bb
b Bb bb
So the probability of black fur is 75%.
Dihybrid example:
If black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b) and short hair (S) is dominant over long hair (s) what is the probability of white fur and long hair in an offspring between two dogs heterozygous for both traits?
BbSs x BbSs
BS bS Bs bs
BS BBSS BbSS BBSs BbSs
bS BbSS bbSS BbSs bbSs
Bs BBSs BbSs BBss Bbss
bs BbSs bbSs Bbss bbss
The answer would be 1:16 = 6.25%
Answer:
Colony-forming unit (CFU or cfu) is a measure of viable bacterial or fungal cells. In direct microscopic counts (cell counting using haemocytometer) where all cells, dead and living, are counted,but CFU measures only viable cells. For convenience the results are given as CFU/mL (colony-forming units per milliliter) for liquids, and CFU/g (colony-forming units per gram) for solids. CFU can be calculated using miles and misra method, it is useful to determine the microbiological load and magnitude of infection in blood and other samples.
Example:
Calculate the number of bacteria (CFU) per milliliter or gram of sample by dividing the number of colonies by the dilution factor The number of colonies per ml reported should reflect the precision of the method and should not include more than two significant figures.
The CFU/ml can be calculated using the formula:
cfu/ml = (no. of colonies x dilution factor) / volume of culture plate
For example, suppose the plate of the 10^6 dilution yielded a count of 130 colonies. Then, the number of bacteria in 1 ml of the original sample can be calculated as follows:
Bacteria/ml = (130) x (10^6) = 1.3 × 10^8 or 130,000,000.
