A technique that can be used to identify mutant bacterial cells is called
A) replica plating.
B) master plating.

D) comparison plating.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Replica plating is a technique in which bacterial cells from a master plate are transferred to multiple other plates. This allows for comparison between the original cells and any mutant cells that may have arisen. By comparing the growth patterns on the different plates, the mutant cells can be identified. Master plating, indicator plating, and comparison plating are not specific techniques for identifying mutant cells.
