What are two major differences between the lytic and lysogenic cycles of a phage?

What is the cause of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy?

You are tasked with enumerating the microbial load of an unknown sample. You begin your investigation by serially diluting the sample resulting in the following dilutions: 10-2, 10-4, and 10-6. You spread 85µl of each dilution onto a separate nutrient agar plate and incubate for 48 hours. Upon examining the plates for the 10-4 and 10-6 dilutions only. You observe the following results:  10-4: 130 CFU  10-6: 12 CFU  Calculate the viable titer for these two agar plates. Report your final answer in the correct notation and with appropriate units.

The principal difference between variable costing and absorption costing centers on:

You are performed the following biochemical test for an unknown bacterial sample. a) Identify the biochemical test performed on the following plate? b) What do you think had happened in the quadrant which showed pink color? (Discuss the enzyme and enzymatic process occurring) 

The break-even in units sold will decrease if there is an increase in:

Which of the following correctly describes how pri-miRNA becomes mature miRNA?

You are performing a Kligler’s Triple Iron Agar test on the unknown bacterial isolate. After incubation, what does it indicate if you observe a black precipitate at the bottom of the test tube?

Which movement is typically caused when water molecules collide with the cells and make them move?  

Which eukaryotic RNA polymerase transcribes tRNA?
