Answer:

Nutrient agar lets us know about the presence/absence of any kind of bacteria.

Mannitol salt agar let us know about the presence/absence of osmotolerant bacteria.

The difference between them lets us know which bacteria are osmotolerant and which ones are not.

Explanation:

The mannitol salt agar is useful to identify organisms with specific traits. It is a selective medium that only allows the growth of osmotolerant cells. It is used to identify bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus.

The comparison between nutrient agar and mannitol salt agar is significant because it gives more information about the bacteria type. If no cell grows in these two mediums means that there are no bacteria at all. But if cells can grow in the nutrient agar and not in the mannitol salt agar, it means the growing bacteria are not tolerant to salty mediums. They are not osmotolerant.    

A comparison between the presence/absence of bacteria growing in each medium lets us know which species are osmotolerant and which ones are not.

Which diagram below illustrates fertilization what would lead to development of a normal human female?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

1. X + X

Explanation:

The sperm and the egg each carry half of the DNA for the zygote (which is one cell that eventually becomes a baby).

A normal human <u>male</u> has the sex chromosomes XY

A normal human <u>female</u> would have XX

If the Y chromosome is present, the result is a male.

If there either more or less than 2 sex-chromosomes, there is usually some sort of abnormality, like delayed development or the inability to mature and reproduce.

The answer is;  D

A limiting factor is a resource in the environment that significantly affects the growth, distribution or abundance of an organism or population within an ecosystem. When this factor is controlled it can result in increased or decreased growth.

In this water, the level of the water table in the desert limits the growth of the cacti plants.
