Statement 1: When encountering stress conditions, bacteria can increase their rate of mutation. Statement 2: The only way to increase the mutation rate of a bacterium is for the bacterium to undergo a mutation. Question 11Select one: a. Both statements are false b. Both statements are true c. Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false d. Statement 2 is true and statement 1 is false

Step 1
This statement claims that bacteria can increase their rate of mutation when they encounter stress conditions. This is true; many bacteria have mechanisms that allow them to increase mutation rates in response to environmental stress, which can help them adapt and Show more…

True or False: One reason that mutations are so problematic is that the bacterial cell has no ability to repair a mutation that has occurred.

- Antibiotics are generally most effective during the stationary phase of growth. (true or false) - If bacteria undergo cellular respiration, the number of bacteria in the tube could be measured indirectly by determining the amount of CO2 produced. (true or false) - A medium that allows gram positives to grow, but not gram negatives, would be called a selective medium. (true or false) - A cell placed in a hypotonic solution would undergo cytolysis. (true or false) - The higher the turbidity of the culture broth, the more bacteria there are in the tube. (true or false) - In the lag phase of growth, there is no change in the size of the population because the bacteria are adapting to the new environment. (true or false) - Bacteria utilize coenzymes made from vitamins. (true or false) - We would expect obligate anaerobes to lack some of the enzymes required for the Krebs cycle. (true or false) - Carbon dioxide is released during fermentation of pyruvic acid to lactic acid. (true or false)
