What causes the most genetic diversity in a bacterial colony?

Who hypothesized that a bacterial colony arises from a single bacterial cell?
Robert Koch
In regards to bacterial growth define colony?
Each colony is a mass of bacterial clones, usually founded by one individual cell. So each colony represents one original microbe.
If bacteria in a colony are unable to perform conjugation how would this hurt the colony's chance for survival?
The colony would have less genetic variation. The Bacteria in the colony would be too genetically similar
One colony typically develops from the growth of several parent bacterial cells?
false
What is the difference between a tissue and a colony?
A bacterial cell is a unit of bacterial colony. In colony of bacteria there can be thousands to million of cells can be present. The morphology of the colony of bacteria can be seen with naked eyes without the help of any gear. Where as the bacterial cell can only be seen under microscope.
What is the circumference of the colony of bacterial colony of 10 mm?
3.140
Who hypothesized that a bacterial colony arises from a single bacterial cell?
Robert Koch
What is the founders effect?
The founder effect is generically a loss of genetic diversity. But specifically, it refers to limited genetic diversity that occurs when a small group of individuals from a genetically diverse population of some species migrates away and forms a new colony. Because the new colony will be composed only of genes from those few individuals, its genetic diversity will be reduced compared to the parent population. Usually, this is associated with reduced genetic fitness and perhaps increased incidence of disease or other physiological maladaptations.Founder effect refers to the loss of genetic variation in a new population that is derived from only a few members of a large population. A link can be found below.When one of the new population is drawn from a small sample of the parental population it will be strikingly different geneticaly. This phenomenon is called the founder effect.

A certain bacterial colony originated from the division of a single bacterial cell Each cell in this colony will most likely?
synthesize the same proteins and enzymes

He bacteria in a colony are unable to perform transduction. How would this hurt the bacterial colony's chance for survival?
the bacteria would be more genetically similar.

The colony would have less genetic variation. The Bacteria in the colony would be too genetically similar
How do you know if a colony is of bacterial or yeast origin?
Without microscope and only from morphology?
What is bacterial colony?
A group or cluster of bacteria derived from one common bacteria.
What strategies would allow you to determine if a bacterial colony had been infected with a lysogenic virus?
Gel electrophoresis to assess the size of the bacterial genome.
How would it hurt a bacterial colony's chance for survival if it were unable to perform conjugation?
The bacteria in the colony would be too genetically similar.
