| 13890310484 | viral transduction | contributes to bacterial genetic variation | 0 | |
| 13890313051 | horizontal gene transfer | The transfer of genes from one genome to another through mechanisms such as transposable elements, plasmid exchange, viral activity, and perhaps fusions of different organisms. | 1 | |
| 13890315206 | lytic cycle | a viral reproductive cycle in which copies of a virus are made within a host cell, which then bursts open, releasing new viruses | 2 | |
| 13890328373 | lysogenic cycle | A phage replication cycle in which the viral genome becomes incorporated into the bacterial host chromosome as a prophage and does not kill the host. | 3 | |
| 13890344834 | Which cycle allows for genetic variation in viruses? | Lysogenic cycle | 4 | |
| 13890357422 | prophage | A phage genome that has been inserted into a specific site on the bacterial chromosome. | 5 | |
| 13890363036 | Bacteriophage | A virus that infects bacteria | 6 | |
| 13890372090 | retrovirus | An RNA virus that reproduces by transcribing its RNA into DNA and then inserting the DNA into a cellular chromosome; an important class of cancer-causing viruses. | 7 | |
| 13890375889 | reverse transcriptase | An enzyme encoded by some certain viruses (retroviruses) that uses RNA as a template for DNA synthesis. | 8 | |
| 13890375890 | vertical gene transfer | transfer of genes from an organism to its offspring | 9 | |
| 13890402133 | sex pili | appendages that pull two cells together prior to DNA transfer from one cell to the other | 10 | |
| 13890406880 | Viral recombination | Multiple strains of virus infect a host simultaneously and swap genes. |  | 11 |
