You aseptically transfer 1 mL of your original liquid culture into 99 mL of sterile water. You then repeat this procedure two more times. What is the final dilution factor of this serial dilution? 1. 10^-4. 2. 10^2. 3. 10^-6.4. 10^-2. 5. 10^2

Answer is option "1"

Explanation:

A serial dilution is any dilution in which the concentration decreases by the same factor in each successive step.  In serial dilution, on the off chance that you are diluting to a similar extent, you duplicate the weakening components for each progression. The dilution or dilution factor () is the underlying volume () separated by the last volume () for example:1 ml of liquid trnasfer in 99 ml of sterile water to complete the solution of 100 ml.formula of serial dilution is ∴ = The solution repeat two times,  exact serial dilution is ml then total dilution is   Hence, the right answer is option 1 " ".

Your answer is going to be b.
