  21. 42. An electronic device usually worn by a person for amplifying sound before it reaches the receptor organs
Down
  1. 1. The outer visible portion of the ear that collects and directs sound waves toward the tympanic membrane by way of a canal which extends inward through the temporal bone
  2. 2. a degradative enzyme that recognizes specific nucleotide sequences and cuts up DNA
  3. 3. A stepwise dilution of a substance in solution
