Evolution- II Flashcards
Genetic basis of adaptation
Lederberg Replica Plating Technique
Step 1 of Lederberg Replica Plating Technique
- Allow bacterial colonies to grow on a normal nutrient agar medium
- Mark the position of the bacterial colonies
Step 2 of Lederberg Replica Plating Technique
- Press a sterilized velvet cloth with a handle on to the agar plate
- Do not change the orientation of the plate
- The bacterial colonies get transferred on to the velvet cloth
Step 3 of Lederberg Replica Plating Technique
Press the velvet onto
Plate 1: containing normal agar medium
Plate 2: containting agar medium + antibiotic
Step 4 of Lederberg Replica Plating Technique
Incubate the plates and allow the bacterial colonies to grow
Step 5 of Lederberg Replica Plating Technique
Observation
Plate 1: contained all the bacterial colonies as in master plate
Plate 2: contained only those bacterial colonies that were resistant to antibiotic
Darwinism: Lederberg Replica Plating Technique
Natural selection of mutant variety (Antibiotic resistant variety)
