All it takes is one bacteria. The cell's divide by binary fission where the microbes DNA splits to form a new cell.

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
Why is important to be able to identify different colony shapes sizes edges etc?
It is important to be able to identify different colony shapes, sizes, and edges is a way to learn and identify the name of the bacteria. A selective medium is a nutritional for bacteria to grow while inhibiting other bacteria growth.
Why is it important to start a bacterial culture with a single isolated colony?
It is important for someone who works with bacteria to have a genetically identical bacterial colony so they can test different things on one type of bacteria. Making observations on that one colony is valuable for visual research and identification of that microorganism.
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.
What is the minimum number of bacteria present on one of your plates?
The minimum number of bacteria present on a plate is 1. Depending on how well the bacterial colony was isolated, there may be different kinds of bacteria present.
What is a bacteria colony?
a bacteria colony is the same as a colony that is found in bacteria and fungus begins to form once you've seen a colony.
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
What is a group of cells that originates from a single cell?
A group of cells that is cultured and originates from a single cell is called a colony.
What is a mass of bacteria that forms?
A mass of bacteria is a colony.
The bacteria in colony are unable to perform transduction. how would this hurt the bacterial colony's chance for survival?
The bacteria would generally be more similar
What is a colony in microbiology?
A colony is a group of identical bacteria (clones) which grow together into a visible cluster. Generally, a colony is grown on an nutrient agar plate (on a petri dish with bacteria food in it) such that it is large enough to see the bacteria. An additional type of colony is a "microcolony" which is a term used for a group of the same bacteria which grown in the dirt.
What is bacterial colony?
A group or cluster of bacteria derived from one common bacteria.
What are groups of bacteria living together in a close knit group known as?
A close knit group of bacteria is known as a colony. All bacteria cells in a colony are genetically identical because they grew from a the same bacteria cell.
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.
Can colony morphology help to determine the identity of bacteria?
to know the amount of bacteria present
Are the bacteria from one colony geneticaly identical?
Not always. Sometimes, during protein synthesis, the DNA of bacteria makes a mistake and copies the wrong protein causing a defect. This can cause the bacteria in the same colony to be slightly different. Also, bacteria can evolve very quickly, so this can also cause the bacteria in one colony to be slightly different.
What does a 'colony' mean in science terms?
colony term is mainly used in biology... fungal colony, colony of bacteria etc.. basically a group name.
