Occasionally, plates like the ones inoculated as part of this exercise are allowed to remain in the incubator for extended perio

ds of time (two weeks or more). When the plates are examined, the agar is desiccated and Halobacterium salinarium is seen growing on plates labeled 5% NaCl and 10% NaCl, despite the fact that H. salinarium requires a minimum of 13% NaCl for growth. Explain why this happens.

Answer and Explanation:

This happened because when the agar was desiccated, all the water was released, but the solutes used in the culture medium remained in the petri dish, that is, all the nutrients remained available to H. salinarium, which survived by consuming these nutrients. Although the growth of H. salinarium requires a higher level of NaCl than the level left in the petri dish, we can consider that some colonies of H. salinarium adapted to the low level of NaCl and managed to survive, passing this characteristic to new colonies.

What are the possible phenotypes of chicken offspring if one parent has black feathers ( FB ) and one parent has white feathers
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

None. Chickens have feathers not fur.

Now to color. The male usually determines color so without that information it is hard to answer with any authority.

In most crosses if the male is black and the hen is white you will get some black chicks and all will have white/black

variations.

If the male is white and the hen is black you will get some all

white with others showing black and white.

If the breed is Leghorn, even if the rooster is black you will

get mostly white chicks with some throwbacks in red and buff.

in order for a hypothesis to be testable, scientists need to be able to carry out investigations that will either support or dis
IRISSAK [1]

True

Explanation - A hypothesis is given once the question is identified and background research has been done. A hypothesis is validated by performing experiments.

Prior to the experiments being performed, proper planning is done. After the experiment is carried out, the data is noted. Once the data is noted, results are inferred.

If the evidence agrees with the prediction then the hypothesis is being supported and validated. If the result fails to validate the hypothesis then the hypothesis need to be abandoned or modified.
