Answer:

Explanation:

Usually, adaption is triggered by the need to survive and reproduce. Short-term adaption is usually caused by a sudden change in circumstance which causes the need for behavior or tactics to change based on previous experience or knowledge. Long term adaption is different, this usually occurs naturally over the course of many decades in order for the species to have better chances of surviving in the changing environment that they are living in.

A particular species of bacteria has a "a generation time" of 20 minutes. That is, every 20 minutes a single bacterium completes
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Number of bacteria cells = 2621440 cells

Explanation:

The generation time of a bacteria specie is the time it takes for a population of bacteria to double in number. The generation time for most common bacteria is quite short, about 20 minutes to 1 hour.

Bacteria reproduce asexually by binary fission, in which the parent cell divides into two to produce two identical daughter cells.

In the given question, the generation time of the bacterial species is 20 minutes.

The time that have passed from between the time the sandwich was packed at 6:00 am to lunch time by 12:00 pm is 6 hours.

Using the given formula in the hint: number of cells = 2^(ab) × C

Where a = number of times per hour the bacteria reproduces; b = number of hours; C = number of bacteria at the start

a = 60 minutes/ 20 minutes = 3; b = 6; C = 10

Number of cells = 2^(3 × 6) × 10

Number of cells = 2621440 cells
