Write two Costa’s Level 2 or 3 questions and answer them. (Sample question stems – Should we...? What if...?). See Costa’s question stems attached to this assignment. The question MUST relate to population ecology?

You have been asked to lead a demonstration for the undergraduate microbiology lab course about the uses of negative staining when studying bacteria. a "negative" stain does not stain the bacterial cell itself but stains the space between cells. under magnification, the acidic (negativelycharged) nature of the stain will be repelled by the negatively charged bacterial cell wall and willleave the cell colorless in a stained background. negative stains are used primarily to reveal the presence of negatively charged bacterial capsules; therefore, they are also called capsule stains. encapsulated cells appear to have a halo surrounding them. the negative stain procedure does not require heat fixation, which limits any chances of alteration in bacterial cell shape and size. the bacterial suspension is added to a drop of stain, such as nigrosin or eosin, and drawn across the glass slide using a coverslip. nigrosin staining-not safranin staining-of klebsiella pneumoniae will allow for the visualization of the cell shape and the determination of the presence of a capsule. true/false

What would happen if the krill were removed from the food web

Apopulation of rabbits live in a local forest. some had a mutation for a large body and long legs. the graph below shows the number of both the mutant and the normal rabbits over 5 generations. which of the following statements is true for this scenario? question 7 options: the rabbits with the mutation were more successful with restricted food than the normal rabbits. both sets of rabbits were equally successful with the restricted food source. i the normal rabbits were more successful with restricted food than the rabbits with the mutation. the graph does not let us know which rabbit was more successful.
