  1. 1. exchange of genetic information in bacteria with the use of viruses (bacteriophage/phage).
  2. 3. short generation time (less than an hour). Can be grown on agar plates. Can exist in pure cultures with no genetic variation if reproduce asexually.
  3. 7. a category of gene transfer that occurs between members of different bacterial species
  4. 8. a category of gene transfer that occurs between members of the same species
  5. 10. a type of bacterial strain with a fertility factor (plasmid) outside of the cell, on its own.
  6. 13. a clearing of bacteria cell where once growing on agar.
  7. 16. exchange of genes
  8. 17. a type of bacterial strain whose plasmid jumps into the cell.
Down
  1. 2. temporary fusion of two individuals for sexual transmission of genetic material
  2. 4. a series of agar plates each containing a different solid growth media are inoculated with the same colonies to determine the genotype of bacteria.
  3. 5. numerous cells derived from one parent
  4. 6. the insertion of genetic material from one organism into another organism.
  5. 9. individual is wild type for all growth requirements.
  6. 11. extrachromosomal circular, double stranded DNA which can be used to exchange with other individuals.
  7. 12. individual has lost the ability to synthesize one or more organic components needed for growth because of a mutation.
  8. 14. virus that infects bacteria
  9. 15. a type of bacterial cell that can't become any of the others without help, because of the lack of a fertility factor. It always receives.
  10. 18. a type of bacterial stain where the plasmid has DNA from the main cell.
