2. Suppose that a broth culture has 52 million bacteria per milliliter. A serial dilution is made using three bottles of 99 milliliters each. One (1.0) mL is transferred from the sample to the first bottle (A); then 1 mL is transferred from the first bottle to the second (B); and then 1 mL is transferred from the second bottle to the third (C). From the third bottle 0.1 mL is transferred to a spread plate. How many colonies would you expect to find on this plate

Approximately 5.2 colonies

Explanation:

Given that the original broth culture has 52 million bacteria/ml. = 52 * 10^6 bacteria/ml

It is diluted 100 times in bottle A = 52 * 10^4 bacteria/ml

It is diluted 100 times again in bottle B = 52 * 10^2 bacteria/ml

It is diluted 100 times again in bottle C = 52 bacteria/ml

From bottle C, 0.1 ml is plated = 5.2 bacteria

Since a single colony on plate represents a single bacteria in solution, approximately 5.2 colonies will be observed on plate.

advantage of using stem cells in medical research:

1.       it provides medical benefits in the fields of therapeutic cloning and regenerative medicine.

2. it provides great potential for discovering treatments and cures to a variety of diseases including parkinson disease, spinal cord injuries, diabetes, alzheimer’s disease and many more.

3. limbs and organ could be grown in lab from stem cells and then used in transplant or treat illness.
