You expose a tube of bacteria to ultraviolet radiation to induce mutations. You then spread the bacteria on a plate containing media with all known required nutrients and wait until separate colonies form. Finally, you use replicate plating to transfer a print of this plate to an additional sterile plate containing minimal media plus a known required nutrient for the bacteria. Based on this protocol, colonies growing on the plate with minimal media would include what type of cells?
A. only wild-type bacteria B. only mutant bacteria C. mutants that only require the supplied nutrient D. Both wild-type and all mutants E. wild-type bacteria and the mutants that only require the supplied nutrient Clarify Question · What is the key concept addressed by the question? · What type of thinking is required?
