Differential
Introduction:
Selective media:
The media that inhibits the growth of a bacterium at the same time aiding the growth of other bacterium through particular composition is termed as selective media.
Eg: Mac Conkey agar is a selective media for Gram negative bacterium.
Differential Media:
This media comprises of certain biochemical that differentiate visually the ability and inability of bacterium for undergoing specific biochemical process is termed as differential media.
Eg: Blood agar
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1Q
Is blood agar selective or differential? Differential
Explanation of Solution
Blood agar is composed of defibrinated sheep blood, sodium chloride and nutrient agar. Based on the ability of the innoculated bacterium, to hemolyse the blood agar i.e. destruction of red blood cells and the kind of hemolysis occurred helps in identifying the bacterium. The three types of hemolysis are as follows,
- Alpha-hemolysis- Only partial damage of the red blood cells happens. −Normal Streptococci
- Beta-hemolysis-Complete hemolysis- Pathogenic Streptococci
- Gamma hemolysis- No hemolysis.-Normal Streptococci

Using Punnett Squares Punnett squares are one good
way to predict the outcome of genetic crosses. Punnett
squares use mathematical probability to help predict the
genotype and phenotype combinations in genetic crosses. The
number of possible alleles from each parent determines the
number of rows and columns in the Punnett square.
Independent Assortment
KEY QUESTION How do alleles segregate when more than
one gene is involved?
Mendel wondered if the segregation of one pair of alleles
affects another pair. For example, does the gene that
determines the shape of a seed affect the gene for seed color?
This type of experiment is known as a two-factor, or dihybrid,
cross because it involves two different genes. Single-gene
crosses are monohybrid crosses.

purpose of this diagram. As you read, compare your inference to the text. After you read, revise
your statement if needed or write a new one about the diagram's purpose. Take notes on the lines
provided. Then view the Punnett square and answer the questions below regarding the genotypes
