1.) Do you think you would get the same results if you changed the carbon source of the media, something other than glucose?

2.) The levels of CV101 were very low in the population but were maintained in a stable equilibrium. Why wasn’t CV101 driven to extinction? Did CV101 acquire an adaptation that allowed it to survive in the population? See the Virtual Experiment CV101 and CV103.

3.) Do your results support or reject your hypothesis? Why?

Explanation / Answer

1) No. The same results will not be obtained by changing the carbon source of the media from glucose to something else.

2) The levels of CV101 were very low but they were still not driven to extinction because all the 3 different variations had different adaptations that allowed them to adapt to different niches without interfering with each other.
