Summary Introduction

Life on earth is majorly classified into two types, which includes prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes are characterized by unicellular or single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Bacteria and virus are some examples of prokaryotic organisms. Eukaryotic cells are characterized by cells that comprised of a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotic organisms are usually made up of multicellular or more than a cell.

Explanation of Solution

The eukaryotic cell or domain first appeared no later than 1800 million years ago and probably earlier, even though the record is hard to trace out in older rocks. In sedimentary rocks dated at nearly 1050 million years old, the oldest fossils were found and this clearly indicates that the presence of a living group of eukaryotic organisms. These fossils preserve the topographies of current red algae. Therefore, by a billion years ago Archaeplastida had previously diverged from other superkingdoms of eukaryotes. Normally, photosynthesis had become established in eukaryotic organisms and simple multicellularity had already evolved within the domain. Numerous diversities of eukaryotes are recorded in rocks 800-700 million years ago, such as green algae and leftovers of amoebozoans.

In order to establish the expiration date of perishable food, growth curve data must be collected. Once the microbial load is so high that it poses a hazard to human health, the food item is no longer considered safe (expired). Generally a load of x50,000 bacteria/gram is considered unsafe. Your task is to determine the microbial growth curves for MicroYo, a new brand of yogurt. The growth is determined by sampling the yogurt and growing the bacterial isolates in broth culture which is then serially diluted by a total of x10,000 and inoculated onto standard petri plates of nutrient agar. The following colony counts are measured: Time (days) MicroYo colony count# 1 1 4 1 12 2 16 20 4 7 What day should you recommend expiring the yogurt (the last possible date before the microbial load is unsafe). 12 4 20 16
9. Chicken combs in chickens is an example where you see interactions between genes. See potential genotypes and phenotypes below. Which genotype, when mated to a rose comb chicken, will produce progeny that are 50% walnut comb and 50% pea comb? walnut (RRPP) walnut (RrPP) pea (rrPP) walnut (RRPP) walnut (RrPp) pea (rrPp) rose rose single (RRPP) (Rrpp) (rrpp)
Describe a compound light microscope and its importance in microbiology (2) examples of at least two microbes viewed under a compound light microscope and their general characteristics (note: the microbes you choose do not need to be the ones outlined in the above tutorial video) and (3) at least one source you used for the information included in your infographic.
