Rotifer Group
They wanted to identify…
Why they want to identify? What is the objective?
Why to study rotifers? What is interesting in rotifers? Where do you find rotifers? What is interesting bdelloid rotifers? If there is no male what is the harm in that? How to identify other rotifers and bdelloid? Please follow up @saida786110 @khushdeep @Shri

How they came out with the dilution? What is the irritation what they mean by it? What happens if we have a higher concentrations of salt in the solution? @Rupesh @Vish @RiyaChari

@bivasnag We are discussing whether moina will grow in distill water or not.

Have you got the answer for your question in last 2 days? @Spandan_b @drishtantmkawale

The sample we made is in CUBE HBCSE.
So I am going to redesign the experiment and do it once again by keeping 4 test tubes two with milk + distilled water and other with only distilled water and will note their number and time of survival.
