Explanation:

To isolate colonies, we aim to get single - cell derived colonies. So we need to inoculate a small number of cells (not a large number) over an area of the medium, and then through processes like streaking, the cells spread out and form isolated colonies. If a large number of cells are inoculated over an expansive area, it would be hard to get isolated colonies as the cells would be too dense. So the statement is false.

Answer:

False
