| 1245518617 | A lambda phage which is capable of a lytic and lysogenic cycle is known as a: | Temperate phage. | 0 | |
| 1245518618 | How can Lysogenic conversion can make a bacterium more virulent? | By a temperate phage inducing a change in the bacteria it infects, making it release exotoxins. | 1 | |
| 1245518619 | Viroids | viruses that infect plants. | 2 | |
| 1245518620 | Prions | infectious proteins that cause brain diseases in mammals. Diseases are Creutzfeldt-Jakob , B S E. | 3 | |
| 1245518621 | Transformation | Uptake of naked DNA by a bacteria. | 4 | |
| 1245518622 | Transduction | Viral bacteriophages carry bacterial genes from one host cell to another. | 5 | |
| 1245518623 | Conjugation | Is the direct transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells that are temporarily joined by sex pilli. | 6 | |
| 1245518624 | Transposable elements also known as transposons. | Can move around within a cell's genome, Are often called jumping genes, Contribute to genetic shuffling in bacteria. | 7 | |
| 1245518625 | Alu sequence. | Is the most common form of transposable element in humans. | 8 | |
| 1245518626 | repressible operon | Binding of a specific repressor protein to the operator Represses transcription. Negative regulation. | 9 | |
| 1245518627 | inducible operon | Binding an inducer to a repressor inactivates the repressor and Induces transcription. Negative regulation of the repressor itself. | 10 |
