What kind of growth is controlled by limited resources?: Logistic growth
What are three kinds of genetic recombination?: Conjugation, transformation, and transduction
What is a temporary union of two organisms for the purpose of DNA transfer?: Conjugation
What is a 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?: Plasmid
What is the transfer of a DNA segment from a nonfunctional donor cell to that of a functional recipient cell?: Transformation
What is the process in which infection by a virus resluts in DNA being transferred from one bacterium to another?: Transduction

What could allow bacteria to grow in food that had been boiled and placed in steril equipment?: Endospores
What are the three shapes of bacteria?: Coccus (spherical), bacillus (rod-shaped), spirillum (helical)
What allows a bacterium to alter its genetic code and receive traits that improves its survival?: Genetic recombination
Which kind of genetic recombination involves making a copy of the donor's plasmid and transferring it to another?: Conjugation
