I think this view is NOT compatible with either of these hypothesis illustrated above. This is because each hypothesis presents prokaryotes as two separate groups. Prokaryotes are unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane bound organelle unlike the eukaryotes which has the membrane bound nucleus and other organelles.
Answer: First, the bacteria will adjust and then it will divide.
Explanation:
Once the bacterial species is put into the cultural medium, there the bacteria present in the medium needs to acclimatize in the medium and then start growing.
There is a lag phase before the log phase because first the bacteria will adjust into the medium and then start dividing.
As we know that the growing medium contains amino acids, growth factors, enzymes and many more things which first needs to be utilized by the bacteria and then it will start dividing.
Water is mostly water molecules so adding water to an acid or base reduces the concentration of ions in the solution. When an acidic solution is diluted with water the concentration of H + ions decreases and the pH of the solution increases towards 7.
I think the answer is B because it happens slowly and through natural selection
