One of your lab partners has followed the recommended procedure of running Gram-positive and Gram-negative control organisms on

her Gram stain of unknown species. Her choices of controls were E. coli and B. subtilis. She tries several times and each time concludes she is decolorizing too long because both controls have pink cells (one more than the other). What might you suggest she try and why?

Answer:

The correct answer is "I would suggest her to change the Gram positive control from Bacillus subtilis to other bacteria".

Explanation:

Bacillus subtilis, and the species from the genre Bacillus, are known for losing the crystal violet coloration during Gram testing. It is likely that B. subtilis might look pink under the procedure for this reason. I would suggest to change her Gram positive control from B. subtilis to other bacteria. For instance, she could try with Staphylococcus aureus, a widely used bacteria as Gram positive control.

What phenomenon occurs in females as a result of x-chromosomes inactivation
Arada [10]

This happens early in embryonic development in females, where one of the two X-Chromosomes is randomly (and permanently) inactivated, as you said, in cells other than egg cells.

This phenomonon is actually called X-Inactivation.

X-Inactivation make sure that females, just like males, have a single functional copy of the X Chromosome in each and every one of their cells in their body.

Glad I could help, byee now

AfilCa [17]

Cephalopoda

Explanation:

Cephalopods are commonly known as inkfishes.

But cephalopods are not at all fishes. They are molluscs.

They belong to Class Cephalopoda of phylum Mollusca.

Like other molluscs, these are also soft bodied, but have a series of tentacles that actually developed from theprimitive foot.

Cephalopods have a well developed nervous system and have large bulging eyes.

Examples of cephalopods are, octopus, giant squid etc.

Considering all the above characteristics, we can conclude that the predator stated in the question is most likely to belong to the clade cephalopoda.
