She manages to isolate and identify around 80 differentbacterial species from the various mangrove sites. She preserves the isolates by growingthem on a tryptic soy agar supplemented with sea salt and re-streaks them every week. After8 months she notices that some of the isolates have changed their genetic sequence whencompared to the initially identified sequence. Using a diagram explain what could havehappened to the isolates when she re-streaked them repeatedly and recommend a solutionto prevent this from occurring in the future and give explanation why it is moreadvantageous.arrow_forward
