Different people's cell phones are home to different types

Last updated: 7/9/2022

Different people's cell phones are home to different types of microbes. Why might this be? a. The types of microbes living on cell phones changes randomly. b. The cell phone owners did not wash their hands after using the bathroom. c. The types of microbes living on cell phones reflect the same types of microbes living on the skin of their owners. d. Different cell phones have different abiotic (non-living) factors. These factors select for different types of microbes that are able to survive on different types of cell phones.
