State “Orange” or “Green” below, then move to the next question.
I choose orange
Provide a text description below of the colony morphology for your choice. Write this in paragraph style, as if you were writing a paragraph in the results section of a lab manuscript. (Yes, the colonies are difficult to see. Write your information as if you could look closer and/or use a simple microscope. Find a colony online to look at if needed.)
Grading is based on describing characteristics from at least four basic categories of colony morphology. Also, grading is based on general report writing and scientific observations. Create (i.e. make up) any information that cannot be determined from the picture.
