Suppose you wanted to study genes controlling the structure of bacterial cell surfaces. you decide to start by isolating bacterial mutants that are resistant to infection by a bacteriophage that binds to the cell surface. the selection procedure is simple: spread cells from a culture of sensitive bacteria on a petri plate, expose them to a high concentration of phages, and pick the bacterial colonies that grow. to set up the selection you could (1) spread cells from a single liquid culture of sensitive bacteria on many different plates and pick every resistant colony or (2) start many different cultures, each grown from a single colony of sensitive bacteria, spread one plate from each culture, and then pick a single mutant from each plate. which method would ensure that you are isolating many independent mutations?

Chinese privet is a plant that is native to china. over 150 years ago, chinese privet was introduced to the united states as a fast-growing shrub that serves as an excellent privacy hedge. with no natural herbivore, chinese privet quickly established itself and spread in natural areas throughout the southeast and eastern seaboard of the united states. its dominance in these areas has jeopardized the survival of native plant species. chinese privet provides evidence that introducing non-native organisms can cause environmental damage integrated pest management strategies will not decrease chinese privet populations american gardeners can easily control the spread of chinese privet non-native plant species have type i survivorship curves
