An outbreak of botulism associated with home-canned chili peppers killed 16 members of one family. Would a standard plate count have detected the etiologic agent in the canned chili peppers?Explain?

No

Explanation:

Given: An outbreak of botulism associated with home-canned chili peppers killed 16 members of one family.

No, a standard plate count has not detected the etiologic agent in the canned chili peppers as botulism is caused by a toxin.

It is caused by a bacterium that grows in anaerobic conditions that can not be detected in aerobic plates.

the cladogram shown here shows similarities and differences among several classes of vertebrates. anatomically, the four have limb structure as their common ancestor. we might separate the mammals from the other three classes because they a) divergent; do not lay eggs b) identical; are warm-blooded c) varied; a four chambered heart d) homologous; have mammary glands

c) 50% there are four chromosomes. after crossing over, 2 of the four have been changed. that means any gamete has a 2 in 4 chance or 50% chance of receiving the mutated chromosome.
