Which example represents a disadvantage of asexual reproduction?

a)
genetic variety slowly causes hundreds of species of beetles to form from a single species.

b)
a single antibiotic is able to quickly and easily kill millions of genetically identical bacteria.

c)
millions of bacteria are quickly produced by cell division, in one afternoon in a jug of milk that has been left on the counter.
eliminate

d)
male anglerfish must live on larger females as parasitic mates, since they encounter other anglerfish so infrequently in the deep ocean.

If the birth rate of a population of dolphins is 2.0, the death rate is 0.5, and the population size is 100, what is this dolphin's population growth?

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

Ineed the answer asap. in order to be considered alive, an organism must simultaneously possess the characteristics of homeostasis, heredity, cells, reproduction, and
