A human RBC is approximately 6 µm in diameter. An unknown bacterium measures 1 ocular space using the oil immersion objective compared to 2 minor spaces on the stage micrometer. A) How big is the unknown bacterium (report in micrometers)? B) How does its size compare to the RBC (how many times bigger is one versus the other)?

The following is the formula to determine the size from minor spaces and ocular spaces on the stage micrometer:  

Size = Number of minor spaces * 10 micrometer / Number of ocular spaces

A = Number of minor spaces is 2 and the number of ocular space is 1,

Size = 2 * 10 / 1 = 20 micro micrometer. Thus, the size of a bacterium is 20 micrometers.  

B = Thus, it can be said that the size of the bacterium is almost 4 times bigger in comparison to a human red blood cell, which is 6 micrometers in diameter.

gregor john mendel is known for study of inheritance in pea plants. he used garden pea plant for his study, having alternative traits for various characters. he performed cross-breeding in pea plants to check how characters are transmitted between parents to offspring, such as cross between pure tall and pure dwarf plant. mendel studied the inheritance patterns in pea plants for various generations.

thus, the correct answer includes options and f).
