Name that organism
This is a bacterial group that does not have cell walls.
What is Mycoplasmas
This man designed the first simple microscope
Who is Leewenhoek
This enzyme is used to transcribe DNA from RNA.
What is reverse transcriptase
The smallest chemical unit of matter.
What is an Atom
The believe that living things arose from non-living matter.
What is spontaneous generation
Acellular entities that carry genetic material
What is a virus
This man disproved the theory of spontaneous generation using a flask with an S- shaped neck.
Who is Pasteur
This vector can replicate independently and can carry many important genes
What is a plasmid
This is an atom of a given element that differs in the number of neutrons it has.
What is an isotope
This process allows the direct transfer of genetic material from a donor cell to a recipient cell.
What is Pili
These microbes are prokaryotes and do not have peptidoglycan in their cell wall.
What is archaea
This man adopted the theory that animals arise only from other animals by performing experiments with decaying meat.
Who is Redi
A cell that did not successfully repair a mutation.
What is a mutant
This is a shorthand measurement of hydrogen ions in a solution
What is pH
Process of viral replication that leads to incorporation of viral genetic material to that of host and ends in cell lysis.
What is lysogenic cycle
This group of prokaryotes contains an endotoxin in their outermost layer.
What is Gram negative bacteria
This man discovered the microorganism responsible for fermentation.
Pasteur
This technique produces a large number of identical molecules of DNA in vitro.
What is PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)
These macromolecules consist of 3 fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol group.
What are triglycerides (fats)
This process of prokaryotic reproduction is a variation of binary fission and leads to the ruptured of the outer portion of the cell wall.
What is snapping division
This group of archaea require extreme temperatures to survive
What are thermophiles ( or Hyperthermophiles)
He was the first to establish a nomenclature system.
Who is Linnaeus
This technique allows the isolation and characterization of DNA based on electrical charge, size and shape.
What is gel electrophoresis
These macromolecules are composed mainly of C,H,O, and S and have a wide range of functions
What are proteins
This mechanism of entry is used by most enveloped viruses
What is membrane fusion
