🗑
lysogeny   A state in which phage DNA is incorporated into the host cell without  
🗑
reverse transcriptase   An RNA-dependent DNA polymerase; and enzyme that synthesizes a complementary DNA from an RNA template  
🗑
fusion   The merging of plasma membranes of two different cells, resulting in one cell containing cytoplasm from both original cells.  
🗑
lysis   Desstruction of a cell by the rupture of the plasma membrane, rsulting in a loss of cytoplasm.

🗑
bacteriophage (phage)   A virus that infects bacterial cells  
🗑
phage conversion   Genetic change in the host cell resulting from infection by a bacteriophage  
🗑
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.  
🗑

🗑
plaque   A clearing in a bacterial lawn resulting fromlysis by phages  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
