roteins from a cell based in their molecular size
Probe-a single-stranded DNA fragment that has a sequence of bases that can be used to identify complementary DNA base sequences
Prokaryotae-microorganism that lacks a cell nucleus and membrane-enclosed internal structures; all bacteria in the kingdom Monera
Protein profile-a technique for visualizing the proteins contained in a cell; obtained by the use of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
Protista-kingdom of organisms that are unicellular but contain internal organelles typical of eukaryotes
Shrub of life-diagram that represents our current understanding the early evolution of life. There are many roots rather than a single ancestral line, and the branches criss-cross and merge again and again
Species-group of organisms with many common characteristics; the narrowest taxon
Specific epithet-2nd name of organism for binomial nomenclature
Strain-subgroup of species with one or more characteristics that distinguish it from other subgroups of that species
Taxon-category used in classification, such as species, genus, order, family
Type strain-original reference strain of a bacterial species, descendants of a single isolation in pure culture
Virus-submicroscopic, parasitic, acellular microorganism composed of a nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) core inside a protein coat
Adsorption-attachment of the virus to host cell in replication processAntigen drift-process of antigenic variation that results from mutations in genes coding for hemagglutinin and neuramindaseAntigen shift-process of antigenic variation probably caused by a reassortment of viral genesBacterial lawn-uniform layer of bacteria grown on the agar surface in Petri dishBacteriophage-(also called phage) virus that infects bacteriaBurst size-(aka viral yield) # of new virions released in replication processBurst time-time from absorption to release of phages (in replication process) Cancer-uncontrolled, invasive gro...
