|
Assume you inoculated 100 cells into 100ml of nutrient broth. You then inoculated 100 cells of the same species into 200 ml of nutrient broth. After incubation for 4 hours... |
You should have the same number of cells in both. |

True |
|
An experiment began with 4 cells and ended with 128 cells. How many generations did the cells go through? |
5 |
|
Which of the following is the best definition of generation time? |
The length of time needed for a cell to divide. |
|
Which of the following is the best definition of generation time? |
The length of time needed for a cell to divide. |

Log phase |
|
What results when a single bacterium reproduces? |
Two genetically identical daughter cells. |
|
If you begin with six cells, how many cells would you have after three rounds of division? |
Forty-eight cells |
|
Which of the following is not a step in bacterial cell division? |
Disappearance of nuclear envelope |
|
Which step of binary fission is the reason for genetically identical daughter cells? |
Replication of the bacterial chromosome |
|
Which step of binary fission is the reason for genetically identical daughter cells? |
Replication of the bacterial chromosome |
|
What enables the copied chromosome to separate during binary fission? |
The chromosomes are attached to different parts of cell membrane, which elongates and thus separates the chromosomes. |
|
How long does it take for the daughter cells from one round of replication to replicate themselves? |
No time is required. They are ready to divide immediately after DNA replication and separation of the daughter cells is complete if conditions are right. |
|
