Introduction: Biological control agents are the natural enemies like predation, parasitism, and other methods that are used to control the pests such as weeds, insects, mites, nematodes, and so on in order to generate a pest-free- yield. The biological control agent such as Thelohania solenopsae is a natural enemy of the red imported fire ants. This microsporidian can decline the ant’s colony by infecting and shrinking the ovaries of the queen which is the female-reproducing ant.

- "The mathematics of uncontrolled growth are frightening. A single cell of the bacterium E. coli would, under ideal circumstances, divide every twenty minutes. That is not particularly disturbing until you think about it, but the fact is that bacteria multiply geometrically: one becomes two, two become four, four become eight, and so on. In this way it can be shown that in a single day, one cell of E. coli could produce a super-colony equal in size and weight to the entire planet Earth." Using mathematical models of exponential growth, double check Crichton's math. Is he exaggerating? Has he underestimated? Or is he accurate? (For your calculations, assume the following: 6x1024kg per earth; 1x10-15kg per E. coli cell) He is grossly exaggerating. It would take years to reach this size. O He is taking a little poetic license. It would take more than 24 hours. O He is accurate. It would take 24 hours to create a colony this size. O He is underestimating. It would take less than 24 hours to…arrow_forwardQuestion 7 What does a virus do during the lytic cycle after it enters the cell? forms a provirus O replicates attaches to the cell wall becomes dormant causes lysis of the cellarrow_forwardLysogenic Cycle Domain Anaerobic Cellulose Species Heterotroph Conjugation.

I look at stretch every day with my microscope, feed it, play with it, etc., like any good pet owner would. But one day, I notice that Stretch is really stretching out! And a few minutes later, Stretch has turned into two. Amoebas reproduce through mitosis, where they replicate all of their internal biology, then split themselves into two, each new cell carrying everything it needs to survive. Which one is Stretch? Both? How can that be, since things are only identical to themselves? We wouldn't call identical twins the same person, even though they are very similar to one another. Are neither Stretch? One but not the other? How would we determine that? Explain whatever it is that you think is true, and back it up with some reasoning. Be sure your response is at least 300 words.
