1) Analyse the following experimental set-up (illustrated in Figure 1) a) A wild-type (WT) bacterial strain is sensitive to the antibiotic X (Ant X) (Figure 1A) b) You have grown the WT strains in 3 independent liquid cultures (C1, C2 and C3) for 24 hours (Figure 1B-Passage 1) c) Following this initial growth, C1, C2 and C3 cultures are subcultured in 9 independent cultures and grown for 24 hours (Figure 1C Passage 2). Subsequently, cultures are plated on Non-Selective (N/S) solid media and media with Ant X (+ Ant X). The number of colonies grown in each plate are shown (Figure 1C) Use the above information to discuss: a. the type of mutations (if any) that have been arisen during the experiment. b. When did the mutations arise

Question
1) Analyse the following experimental set-up (illustrated in Figure 1)
a) A wild-type (WT) bacterial strain is sensitive to the antibiotic X (Ant X) (Figure
1A)
b) You have grown the WT strains in 3 independent liquid cultures (C1, C2 and
C3) for 24 hours (Figure 1B-Passage 1)
c)
Following this initial growth, C1, C2 and C3 cultures are subcultured in 9
independent cultures and grown for 24 hours (Figure 1C Passage 2).
Subsequently, cultures are plated on Non-Selective (N/S) solid media and
media with Ant X (+ Ant X). The number of colonies grown in each plate are
shown (Figure 1C)
Use the above information to discuss:
a. the type of mutations (if any) that have been arisen during the experiment.
b. When did the mutations arise
