- 7. is a location in DNA where a short nucleotide sequence is organized as a tandem repeat with variations in length between individuals (Hint: DNA Fingerprinting Activity)
- 11. sometimes referred to as the bacterial chromosome, and is usually found in one large circle (Hint: Bacterial Structure Webquest)
- 15. a stain used in the last step of gram staining and is colored red (Hint: Bacteria and Gram Staining)
- 16. the name of a pair of sphere shaped bacteria (Hint: Bacterial Structure Webquest)
- 19. (Three words, no spaces between words)A laboratory technique for rapidly producing (amplifying) millions to billions of copies of a specific segment of DNA (Hint: CSI Wildlife Activity)
- 20. a region within bacteria where most of the bacterial DNA is found and is not bounded by a membrane (Hint: Bacterial Structure Webquest)
- 21. (two words, no space between the words) a stain used in the first step of gram staining and is purple (Hint: Gram Staining Pre-Lab and Lab)
- 23. a type of immune system discovered in bacteria that scientists have adapted its components into a biotechnology tool for editing DNA (Hint: CRISPR and Gene Editing Investigation)
- 24. a molecule found in some bacteria that provides shape and structural support to cells and resists damage due to osmotic pressure (Hint: Bacteria and Gram Staining)
- 25. (Thee words, no spaces between words) a plague that claimed up to 60% of lives in Europe, that originated in China in 1334 (Hint: The History of Pandemics and Herd Immunity)
- 26. a huge family of viruses that infect animal cells (like chickens, pigs and humans) and have surface proteins that look like crowns (Hint: Where Do New Viruses Come From)
- 27. Hollow, hairlike structures made of protein that allows bacteria to attach to other cells. Also called pili (Hint: Bacterial Structure Webquest)
Down
- 1. (two words, no spaces between words)The process where a specific DNA pattern, called a profile, is obtained from a person or sample of bodily tissue (Hint: CSI Wildlife Activity)
- 2. (two words, no spaces between words) DNA that has been incorporated into another organism (Hint: Exploring Restriction Enzymes)
