bacteria from a clinic to a laboratory for testing: Transport-meduim
. Which activity is an example of biotechnology: the production of human
insulin

flatworms

the capsid and nucleic acid
12. A protozoan having flagellum would be classified in the genus:
Trypanosoma
3. Antiviral drugs are often difficult to develop, largely because: viruses are
obligate intracellular parasites so the drugs must enter the host cell and often
cause toxic side effects in order to destroy the virus
4. The activation of a prophage is called...: induction

destruction, resistant to destruction by radiation, living structures

Which explanation most accurately describes the reason for return of this
treatment:
8. A negative RNA virus must first: synthesize a positive RNA copy of its genome
9. You've just isolated a new bacterium in pure culture, and you culture it on a
general purpose medium where its cells have a coccobacillus morphology.
When you examine the cells after culturing on a variety of differential media,
, you fine that in some cases, the cells appear as coccobacillus, but in others,
they can be filamentous, cocci, or club-shaped. The best explanation for
this observation is that: the bacterium is pleomorphic

called _____ and the infectious RNA strands called _____.: Prions; viroids
