The correct option is a. A Dichotomous key
A dichotomous key is a tool created by scientists that helps to identify an unknown organism. It consists of a series of choices that lead the user to identify the given organism. The word 'Dichotomous' means divided into two parts. Dichotomous keys always present two choices to the users in each step, based on the characteristics of the organisms. It is the most used type of identification key used in biology.
A series of alternative choices that leads to identification of an unknown bacteria is called Select...
Which of the following tests will help to identify an unknown bacteria and develop a treatment strategy for the patient with and unidentified infection? Select one: a. Microscopic examination b. Culture characteristics c. Biochemical tests d. All of the answers are correct
The chart below describes the biochemical reactions of six
different Gram-positive bacteria for the indicated tests. Following
the example your instructor presented at the beginning of the lab
period, construct a dichotomous key to identify the six bacteria
listed below. IMPORTANT: do not start your key with the same test
your instructor used to start the example in class. Draw your chart
by hand on the next page titled “Dichotomous Key.” Your key should
include all the tests needed to...
A dichotomous key is made of: Select one: a. Two or more descriptions that lead the user of the key to an identification b. A series of couplets that consist of contrasting statements that lead to two separate choices c. A branching pattern in the shape of a tree d. Couplets that together describe a species or groups of species
Identification of unknown Bacteria by sequencing rDNA Having a little trouble understanding the PCR process. This is a lab we did and some homework questions regarding the sequencing rDNA to find unknown bacteria. I hope by answering these I can have better understanding of the process. The more descriptive the better. Thank you! 2. A. List the reagents used in preparing master mix for PCR and write one sentence about why each one was necessary. B. Now that you have...

Question 3 of 20 : Select the best answer for the question 3. In a series of experiments, Griffith infected mice with nonvirulent R-strain bacteria and highly virulent 5 strain bacteria. Heat killed bacteria were nonvirulent. However, the nonvirulent heat-killed S bacteria and the nonvirulent bacteria together produced a virulent mixture. What did this demonstrate? O O A. The S-strain bacteria had not been killed completely B. The molecules present on the outside of bacteria determine whether it's virulent or...
