Question
Which of the following statements is FALSE about the fluctuation experiments that were performed by Luria and Delbruck? А. Mutations are not generated in response to a stress-but instead are pre-existing in a population and can then be selected for in response to a change in the environment. В. The frequency of phage resistant colonies was similar in all of the cultures after exposure to the phage. С. The experiment involved inoculating many different cultures, each with a single bacterial cell. D. After cultures were allowed to grow for several generations, they were exposed to phage (viruses that infect and kill bacteria). Е. A wide range of numbers of phage resistant bacterial colonies was observed in different bacterial cultures after exposure to the phage.
