You dilute your bacteriophage for plating 10^-6. You mix 0.1ml of the bacteriophage dilution with 0.3ml of bacteria and plate with top agar. The next day you count your plaques. You get 46 pfu at this dilution. What is the final concentration (pfu/ml) of the phage stock?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

46 * 10^7 pfu/ml

Explanation:

Given -

Bacteriophage dilution = 0.1 ml

Volume of bacteria and plate with top agar  = 0.3 ml

Number of plaques = 46 pfu

Dilution (d) = 10^(-6)

Final concentration of phage stock is equal to

= (pfu)/(d*v)

Where pfu is the count of plaques

d is the dilution and v is the volume

Substituting the given values, we get -

(46)/(10^(-6) * 10^(-1)) \n= 46 * 10^7 pfu/ml

Which group of chordates has a notochord and includes separate males and females? jawless fish cartilaginous fish bony fish lancelets

Answers

Lancelets is the group of chordates that has a notochord and includes separate males and females.

Lancelet exhibits the four basic characteristics of phylum Chordata. It has a dorsal nerve, a notochord, a post annul tail, and pharyngiall gill slit.

Jawless fish, cartilaginous fish, and bony fish have notochord when they were still young but it was replaced by a vertebral column as they mature. 

Lancelets are included in the subphylum cephalochordata. Cephalochordates are gonochoristics. It means that the sexes are separate. Both sperm and eggs cells are released in the water where fertilization occurs.

Blood normally flows from the capillaries directly intoA. Small arteries
B. Small Veins
C. Lymph vessels
D. Heart atria

Answers

Blood normally flows from the capillaries directly into Small Veins. Thus, option B is correct.

What are the Small Veins?

The Small varicose veins called spider veins show up as thin, wavy lines directly beneath the skin. They typically afflict women and are particularly prevalent on the face and legs.

Blood pooling in veins close to the skin's surface causes spider veins. Venules, which are incredibly tiny blood channels, link the capillaries and veins throughout the body.

The venules play a crucial role in transferring blood from the capillaries to your veins that is depleted of oxygen and contains trash. The blood can return to the heart from that point on.

Therefore, option B is correct.
