Instructions:
Answer 49 questions in 15 minutes.
If you are not ready to take this test, you can
study here
.
Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

20. Why is bacteria used to clone genes?
Temperate
When bacteria reproduce millions of bacterial cells are formed and each have a desired piece of foreign DNA that can be easily purified - studied and manipulated
