A scientist decides to study the effect of salt on a particular type of bacteria. Arrange the steps of the scientific method in the correct order to show how the scientist would proceed with his work. The scientist asks the question,
Does salt help the growth of
these bacteria?

The scientist puts the bacteria in
three different environments:
high salt, medium salt, and low salt.
A microbiologist notices that
some bacterial species thrive
in salt water environments.
The scientist forms a hypothesis
that higher concentrations of salt
may increase the growth of these
types of bacteria.
The scientist publishes his report
in a scientific journal.
The scientist finds that the
high-salt environment has
the most bacteria.

Awoman whose sister tested positive for a specific mutation in the brca1 gene, which increases the risk for breast and ovarian cancer, is found not to have that mutation but does have a mutation of unknown significance near the known mutation site. how should this woman be counseled? select one: a. she should be informed that her risk for breast cancer is greater than the general population but not as great as her sister’s risk. b. she should be informed that because she does not have the mutation, her risk for breast cancer is not greater than that of the general population. c. she should be informed of her gene mutation status and be presented with all the available prophylaxis options and reconstruction options. d. she should be informed that she does not have the specific mutation but that because another mutation is present she should be vigilant about screening

Can bacteria reproduce in a way such that when you start out with two bacteria, you get five bacteria? why or why not? * a. yes, because bacteria reproduce sexually, and can produce any number of offspring, just as humans do. b. no, because bacteria grow at an exponential rate. c. no, because when bacteria reproduce, they split into two parts, and two bacteria splitting would result in four bacteria.
