Question

A bust cell has intracellular bacterial symbionts. If the growth rate of bacterial symbionts is always 10%higher than that of the host cell , after 10 generations of the host cell the density of bacteria in host cell will increase -(a)10% (b)two-fold (c)ten-fold (d) hundred fold

Answer 1

The density of bacteria in host cell will increase by 11 times. The density of bacteria in host cell will increase by 10 percent. If host cell number is taken in the right side column and bacteria population on the right side, then: 1-1 2- 2.2 3- 3.3 4- 4.4 5- 5.5 6- 6.6 7- 7.7 8- 8.8 9- 9.9 10- 11.
