Answer: obligate anaerobe

Explanation: This experiment established that a bacterial isolate is subcultured into same medium in two different plates, but one is placed in an aerobic condition (i.e., presence of oxygen) while the other in an anaerobic condition (i.e., absence of oxygen), and the result shows that there was no growth on the plate incubated on the incubator shelf, whereas there was growth on the plate conditioned anaerobically.

This simply translates that the bacterium does not need oxygen to grow i.e., It’s an anaerobe. Moreso, assuming it grows on the two plates we would say it's a facultative anaerobe.

Thus, since it growth was only established on the plate with anaerobic condition, it's an obligate anaerobic bacterium.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

When the Amish came to their new home, they were founding a new colony. This is considered a founding effect.

Now, there is another thing to keep in mind, and that is that the Amish are very strict about their custom, for example, the idea of family and identity. This led them to form couples, only among the members who belonged to the community.

As generations go by, genealogical relationships between individuals in the population become closer. This causes some genes, by mere probability, to become fixed (i.e. they are the only ones left in the population). As a consequence of this, the frequency of rare genes increases (polydactyly). This evolutionary process is known as gene drift.
