Answer:

b

Explanation:

The correct answer would be 6.4 x 10^6 cells/ul.

For 1 x 10-6 dilution, the plating factor is 10^6. To find the number of bacteria in the original sample, the plating factor is multiplied by the colony count per ul.

<em>Number of viable bacteria = plating factor x colony count/ul</em>

Since 10 ul gives 64 colonies.  1 ul will give:

         64/10 = 6.4 colonies.

Therefore, the viable bacteria in the original sample = 6.4 x 10^6 cells/ul

The correct option is b.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Probability of Dimples and a cleft chin among their offspring = 1/4

Probability of no dimples and a non-cleft chin = 1/4

Explanation:

the allele for the dimple trait D is dominant over the allele for the non-dimple trait d.

the allele for the cleft chin trait C is dominant over the allele for the non-cleft chin trait c.

Mr. Smith has heterozygous alleles for both traits.

Mrs. Smith does not have dimples, nor does she have a cleft chin

Mr Smith DdCc x. ddcc

Probability of Dimples and a cleft chin among their offspring = Dd x dd = 1/2

Cc x cc = 1/2 = 1/2*1/2 = 1/4

Probability of no dimples and a non-cleft chin = Dd x dd = 1/2, Cc x cc = 1/2 = 1/2*1/2 = 1/4.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) chemicals contain carbon, chlorine and fluorine and is t so expensive at the same time it’s not flammable, the reason why it is mainly used in business such as refrigerators and plastics. However, these chemicals destroys our stratosphere, the second layer of the Earth’s atmosphere and protects us by blocking the ultraviolet radiation (UV Light). This type of radiation can seep through organisms skins and can leave destructive effects on DNA molecules which will also cause skin cancer.

Estuaries

-More than 80 percent of all fish and shellfish species use estuaries as primary habitat or as a spawning or nursery ground.

-Estuaries are often called the “nurseries of the sea”.

-Estuaries and their surrounding wetlands are bodies of water usually found where rivers meet the sea.

Abiotic factors

In an estuarine ecosystem, these factors are light, oxygen, water, nutrients, temperature, salinity, and space. So just divide these into three.

Biotic factors

These include plants and animals such as shrimp, fish, and oysters
