Colony filters are plated at a density of 6 x 6 x 384, or 13,824 colonies per 8 x 12 cm filter. All colonies are plated in duplicate in a unique offset pattern optimized to prevent ambiguity in identification of positive offsets.

He showed that Tragopogon miscellus found in a colony in Moscow, Idaho was produced by hybridization of T. dubius and T. pratensis. He also showed that T. mirus found in a colony near Pullman, Washington was produced by hybridization of T.

There's a lot of seething activity there, more like a beehive or an ant colony. If you study an individual ant you learn something about ants but you miss the amazing things that groups of ants do together, the kind of communal behaviors they have.

Suppose that a pet store owner observes that the mice in her colony grow slowly. She hypothesizes that they grow slowly because she does not give them enough food. To test this hypothesis, she uses two groups of mice.

One consequence of this asexual method of reproduction is that all organisms in a colony are genetic equals.

Thomas Hunt Morgan crossed a sport white-eyed male fruit fly with red-eyed females from the same colony.
F1 progeny, all with red eyes, were sib-mated.
The types of F2 flies recovered are shown at left. Note the absence of white-eyed females.
