What is IgG responsible for? | Memory |
Two ways Antibodies work to prevent infection | Cell wall synthesis (commonly used) Protein Synthesis |
Antibiotic inhibition test | Used to measure the zone of no growth on the Kirby Bower disk |
Bioinformatics | The use of computers and math to store and analyze information |
How do bacteria exchange DNA? | Plasmids exchange DNA through the pilli |
Qualitative Quantitative | Yes/No Determining the quality |
Tinnitus | Ringing in ears |
Presbycusis | Loss of hearing that gradually occurs because of changes in the inner ear as individuals grow older |
Otosclerosis | Hardening in your ear |
Meiners Disease | Change in the fluid value withing the ear. Causes dizziness snd loss of balance. |

Passive and Artificial | Injection of HIV Antibodies |
Active and Artificial | Injection of Hepatitis Virus |
Passive and Natural | A newborn who is breastfed |
Plasmid | A circular, double stranded unit of DNA that replicated within a cell. Plasmids are created as a vector to exchange DNA |
Single Gene Ressesive | Diseases that can be cured with gene therapy. Ex.Cystic Fibrosis |

Karyotype | Chromosome Map |
Nucleoid | The Bacteria's DNA |
Ribosomes | Translate the genetic message in messenger DNA |
Cell Membrane | Allows things to enter and blocks things from entering the cell |
Flagella | Used for movement |
Pilli | Allow bacteria to attach to other cells |
Antibody | An antigen bonding immunoglobin, produced by b cells, that functions as an immune response |
Conjugation | The one-way transfer of DNA between bacteria in cellular contact |
Transduction | The transfer of genetic material from one organism to another by a genetic vector |
Substrate | The reactant on which an enzyme works |
Antigen | A foreign macromolecule that does not belong to the host organism and elicts an immune response |
Primer | A molecule whose presence is required for formation of another molectule |
Recombinant DNA | A dna molecule made in vitro with segments from different sources |
DNA Ligase | A linking enzyme essential for DNA replication and recombinant DNA techniques |
Taq Polymerase | A DNA synthesis enzyme that can withstand the hightemperatures of DNA |
Denaturation | In DNA, the separation of two strands of the double helix |
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism | One base-pair variation in the genome sequence |
Genome | The complement of an organisms genes; an organisms gentic material |
Genotype | The genetic makeup of an organism |
Phenotype | The physical and physiological traits of an organism |
Anneal | To be capable of combining with complementary nucleic acid by a process of heating and cooling |
Retrovirus | infect dividing cells, can integrate into a place where it disrupts a gene |
Adenovirus | will not integrate into host cell genome, can cause immune response |
