A scientist wants to replicate Pasteur's swan neck flask experiment. What outcome should they expect if the experiment is performed correctly? Group of answer choices Immediate microbial growth in the broth after boiling No microbial growth in the broth if the neck of the flask remains intact No microbial growth in the broth if the neck of the flask is broken Microbial growth in the broth regardless of the flask's shape
