Across
  1. 3. Small, circular section of extra DNA that confers one or more traits to a bacterium and can be reproduced separately from the main bacterial genetic code
  2. 6. A close relationship between two or more species where at least one benefits
  3. 9. Type of DNA taken from 2 different species and combining them in one cell
  4. 10. Type of population growth that is unhindered because of the abundance of resources for an ever-increasing population
  5. 12. A weakened or inactive version of a pathogen that stimulates the body’s production of antibodies which aid in destroying the pathogen
  6. 13. Organisms that break down the dead remains of other organisms
  7. 16. Transfer of a DNA segment from a nonfunctional donor cell to that of a functional recipient cell
  8. 17. Chemical secreted by a living organism that kills or reduces the reproduction rate of other organisms
  9. 18. Substance that when introduced into the blood, triggers the production of an antibody
  10. 19. A thick internal wall, made of several hard layers, produced by the bacterium, that encloses its DNA and other essential parts
  11. 20. Process in which infection by a virus results in DNA being transferred from one bacterium to another
  12. 22. Science dealing with the description, identification, naming, and classifying of organisms
  13. 24. Organism that feeds on dead matter
  14. 25. Not requiring oxygen
  15. 26. Organism that causes diseases
Down
  1. 1. Type of nomenclature of an organism with its genus and species
  2. 2. Symbiotic relationship between two organisms of different species where one benefits and the other is harmed
  3. 4. In this cycle, the virus enters cell, embeds its DNA into the host cell DNA and is replicated along with the host cell’s DNA
  4. 5. In this cycle, the virus enters cell, hijacks host cell’s DNA replication system, makes copies of itself, causes cell to burst and release more virus
  5. 7. Protein in your immune system used to attack specific antigens
  6. 8. A cellular process producing ATP without oxygen
  7. 11. Type of reproductive process by which a single organism produces genetically identical offspring
  8. 14. Electron Microscope that transmits a beam of electrons through a thinly sliced specimen
  9. 15. Non-cellular infectious agent that is composed of genetic material inside a capsid or protein coat, and must infect a living cell in order to reproduce
  10. 21. Temporary union of two organisms for the purpose of DNA transfer
  11. 23. Requiring oxygen
