A scientist is trying to isolate a penicillin-resistant His- bacterial mutant from a mixed population. To isolate penicillin-resistant mutants, the scientist must inoculate the parent population on plates containing ; this approach is selection.

Penicillin, direct

Explanation:

this scientist has to inoculate the parent population using plates that contains penicillin in them. we call this approach the direct selection.

In the direct selection, bacteria is grown on a material that has penicillin in it. the goal is to find mutants that have resistance to penicillin. only these resistant ones would grow and then a direct identification would be done.

as in mitosis, dna replication occurs during interphase.   in meiosis, it occurs specifically in s phase of interphase 1.

b is dominant over the allele for the white fur.
