| transformation | The process in which genes are transferred from one bacterium to another as "naked" DNA in solution |
| transformation | The changing of a normal cell in to a cancerous cell |
| diploid cell | A cell having two sets of chromosomes; diploid is the normal state of a eukaryotic cell. |
