Bacteria is a unicellular organism which can multiply very fast by binary cell division.
To get a number of divisions required for cell division: you can use the formula: 2x^{number of generations} = number of bacteria
To get 256 bacteria:
2x^{n} = 256  (you can solve this equation by a calculator)
so:  n = 8 generations

With this formula the first bacteria is taken into consideration since 1 bacteria gives two, then the two give four, then eight, 16...

You observed many sand hill cranes on your walk. Two sand hill cranes flapped their wings and hopped up and down when you walked
Anarel [89]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) symbiosis

B) ecosystem

C) community

D) population

E) biosphere

The answer is D) Population

Explanation:

Living organisms in an ecosystem are usually found in numbers living together in a given area. This is termed POPULATION in ecology. A population refers to the group of living organisms that belongs to the same species living together in the same habitat and have the ability to interbreed i.e. mate and reproduce with one another.

This is the case in this question where many sandhill cranes (large flying birds) were observed in a particular area, which represented their habitat. Asides the group of sandhill cranes living together, they were also observed to be interbreeding. This was evident in the observation of two sandhill cranes hopping up and down around their bright orange baby. This shows that members of the population are capable of mating and reproducing fertile offsprings.

This observation completes what a POPULATION is all about, hence, a population was observed.

Answer:

Sympatric speciation.

Explanation:

Sympatric speciation occurs between Crematogaster ashmeadi and Linepithema humile ants because they live on the same geographical location. Sympatric speciation is a type of speciation in which ancestral population evolve into separate species without separation of geography. Hybrid sterility is the postzygotic isolating mechanism that decreases the fitness of the hybrid individuals and helps in controlling the population of an organisms..
