In this activity, you’ll grow bacteria in four prepared petri dishes. The first petri dish will have a sample swabbed from your unwashed hands. The second petri dish will have a sample swabbed from your hands after washing them with regular soap. The third petri dish will contain another sample from your unwashed hands. The fourth petri dish will contain a sample taken after cleaning your hands with hand sanitizer. What do you think the results will be? Write down your predictions for which samples will show the greatest and least bacteria growth.

The many volcanoes located along the edge of the pacific ocean make up the ring of fire. how does subduction play a role in the volcanic activity in the ring of fire?

How many chromosomes are in a gold fish?

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
