The answer is True: Inoculated plates are incubated upside down (lid down, agar up) to prevent the dripping of condensate onto the surface of the agar, therefore preventing the dispersal of inoculated organisms.

Explanation:

  • Incubating plates upside down is a common practice in microbiology to prevent condensation from forming on the lid and dripping onto the agar surface. This can cause the spread of the inoculated organisms across the plate, leading to inaccurate results or contamination.
  • By placing the agar side up, any condensation that forms will remain on the lid and not interfere with the sample on the agar surface.

Therefore, the statement is true.
