Viruses
A virus needs this in order to reproduce.
What is a host?
Like plants, bacteria have this organelle that gives them structure and support.
What is a cell wall?
These are special proteins in your immune system that are responsible for recognizing and attaching to invading pathogens.
What are antibodies?
Gel Electrophoresis can be used to create these.
What are DNA fingerprints?
This scientist was responsible for helping to disprove spontaneous generation.
Who is Pasteur?
A virus lacks this organelle, meaning it cannot synthesize its own proteins.
What is a ribosome?
Bacteria lack this organelle, meaning their genetic material floats in the cytoplasm instead.
What is a nucleus?
This is a method of prevention that allows our immune systems to produce antibodies for a pathogen before being infected.
What are vaccines?
Restriction enzymes are used to do this.
What is locate and cut a specific gene?
This scientist was responsible for demonstrating that different pathogens cause different diseases.
Who is Koch?
The basic structure of a virus is a genome surrounded by this.
What is a capsid/protein coat?
In addition to their chromosomal DNA, bacteria also have separate ring-shaped DNA called this.
What is a plasmid?
These can be used to treat bacterial infections.
What are antibiotics?
This is a method used to create many copies of a DNA sample.
What is polymerase chain reaction (PCR)?
If you are diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia, your doctor will likely recommend this as a treatment.
What are antibiotics?
The life cycle of a virus is called this.
What is the lytic cycle?
This is an example of a type of asexual reproduction used by bacteria.
What is binary fission OR budding?
Mutations can allow bacteria to develop antibiotic ____________.
Resistance
This genetic technology involves the insertion of human DNA into a bacterial plasmid.
What is Recombinant DNA?
A person goes to the doctor and is diagnosed with viral pinkeye. The doctor is most likely to recommend this treatment.
What is nothing?
In the lytic cycle, after a virus injects its genetic material into a host cell, this is the next step.
What is the replication of the viral genome by the enzymes of the host cell?
Some bacteria are this special type of producer that is able to break down chemicals for energy.
What is a chemoautotroph?
This is an example of a structure or process that antibiotics can impact.
What is the cell wall OR DNA replication OR protein synthesis
Gene therapy involves inserting this into a human cell.
What are the genes from another human cell?
This genetic technology can be used to create insulin.
What is recombinant DNA?
