Examine the plates from Alvin, Theodore, and Simon’s UV lightAll three students used the same reliable UV light source set atthe same wavelength; however, Theodore and Simon used the samedried-up week-old slant of bacterial species X while Alvin used adried-up week-old slant of bacterial species Y.
Alvin's Plates Species Y Simon's Plates Species X (No growth on right side) Theodore's Plates Species X (Bacterial 5-minute UV exposure 10-minute UV exposure lawn over whole plate) Left side of plate: NO UV Exposure 20-minute UV exposure DOOO DOOO 40-minute UV exposure Right side of plate: Exposed to UV i.) Despite using the same bacterial culture, the results from Theodore's and Simon's experiments are dramatically different with only Simon's experiment producing the expected results. What could Theodore have done wrong and why would this mistake produce these results? (2 pts) ii.) Based on the results from Simon's and Alvin's experiments, which bacterial species, X or Y, is more likely to be an endospore-forming organism and explain the reason for your choice? (2 pts)
