According to the theory of island biogeography multiple small conservation areas will protect species better than one large area of the same size. species on islands far from the mainland are at the least risk of extinction. when conservation areas are close to each other, more species will persist. edge habitat is important to protect for increased diversity.

If bacteria are much too small to see, what is one reason why can we see colonies in the petri dishes that have plenty of food to eat after only a few days?

Astudent from one of the research labs is having trouble preparing a slide for examination and photographing. the bacterial slide that he has brought to you was prepared using a commercially purchased stain. he has asked for your in determining what he is doing wrong so that he can change the lab protocols and continue on with his project. after examining the slide under oil immersion, you determine that no bacteria are present even though the student is able to show you the culture he used to make that slide that has visible growth in the liquid medium. which of the following statements does not explain the fact that there are no bacteria present on the student’s slide? by not allowing a glass slide to completely air dry before heat fixation, the flame will cause the surrounding water to boil and this will damage the bacterial cell. overheating during the fixation step boiled the water within the bacterial cells and resulted in the cells bursting. insufficient heating of the slide did not drive out the thin layer of water and this resulted in minimal bonding between the bacteria and the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide.

Atest cross can be used to -predict the phenotypes of a monohybrid cross -predict an unknown genotype of a purebred dominant plant -cross-breed dominant and recessive plants -give probabilities that a trait will appear
