Question

based on the results of the streaking method and previously inoculated plate, how can you tell that the colony was successfully isolated? a) it cannot be determined just by looking at the plate b) the bacterial colony is within the cluster of other colonies on the surface of the agar plate with similar shapes and colors c) the bacterial colony is deposited few millimetres away from other colonies on the surface of the agar plate with uniform, clearly defined shape and color d) the bacterial colony is mixed with other colonies on the surface of the agar plate with nonuniform shape and color

Explanation:

Isolated bacterial colonies on an agar - plate are distinct, separated from other colonies, and have a uniform, clearly - defined shape and color. If a colony is within a cluster or mixed with others, it is not isolated. Just looking at the plate can determine isolation status.

Answer:

C. The bacterial colony is deposited few millimetres away from other colonies on the surface of the agar plate with uniform, clearly defined shape and color
