CLASSIFICATION AND NAMING
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
CONJUGATION
100
Soil, water, food products and body fluids such as blood and urine are just a few of the sources used in this technique.
What is Specimen Collection
100
This type of cell lacks a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
What are prokaryotes?
100
The two parts of a name of an organism.
What are genus and species?
100
The first step in asexual reproduction.
What is chromosome replication or duplication?
100
This is the transfer of genetic material between two cells that are physically interacting.
What is conjugation?
200
Microorganisms are grown in nutrient-rich liquids or jelly-like solids in this technique used in Microbiology
What is Incubation
200
This whip-like appendage turns like a propeller driving an organism forward.
What is a flagellum?
200
Can be based on an organism's shape, appearance, discoverer, or location it was discovered.
What is an organism's name?
200
A type of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes that involves a cell splitting into two or more identical cells.
What is binary fission?
200
This structure makes the bridge between the donor and recipient cell.
What is a pilus?
300
Since most microorganisms are too small to see with the unaided eye, microscopes are an essential part of this technique.
What is Inspection?
300
The term used to describe bacteria which are spherical in shape.
What is coccus?
300
All life is organized into these three domains.
What is Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya?
300
The two copies of DNA are separated by this wall during binary fission.
What is a septum?
300
What is acquired by the recipient cell during conjugation.
What is new genetic information?
400
These people need to know about microbes such as potato blight that can kill the crops.
What is a potato farmer?
400
A term used to describe rod-shaped bacteria.
What is a bacillus?
400
The kingdoms of Eukarya.
What are Protista, Fungi, Plants and Animals?
400
This is the process of making of identical offspring from one parent cell.
What is asexual reproduction?
400
Bacteria can become resistant to these as a result of conjugation.
What are antibiotics?
500
These workers need to use their knowledge to safely kill and remove microbes.
What are sanitation workers?
500
The size range of prokaryotic organisms.
What is 1-10 micrometers?
500
Some of these micro-organisms make their own food and others consume others for food.
What are the protists?
500
After division, some prokaryotes remain attached to form these.
What are chains or clusters?
500
This DNA structure is often transferred between donor and recipient bacteria.
What is a plasmid?
