If you allowed your dilution tubes to incubate for 24 hours before plating them, do you think the results of the experiment would be impacted? assume that unlimited resources are present in the tubes. explain your answer. b boldi italicsu underline bulleted list numbered list superscript subscript

Yes, the results of the experiment would be impacted. The environment of cultural inside the tubes (where the unlimited resources are) will be affected by the location of bacteria (which will form thanks to the tubes being incubated for so long). Consider S. cerevisiae, a cultural that was intended to grow inside agar plates. The cultural would need an environment suitable for max growth; offending bacteria wouldn't allow this.
