Q

In writing the genus name,
When bacteria are referred to as a group, their names are neither _________ nor _______

A

capitalized
underlined

21
Q

It is the process by which the microorganisms’ key features are described.

A

Identification

22
Q

It is the process of discovering and recording the traits of organisms so that they may be placed
in an overall taxonomic scheme.

A

Identification

23
Q

It refers to the organism’s genetic make-up.

A

Genotypic Characteristics

24
Q

It involves the detection of a gene or a part thereof, or an RNA product of a specific organism

A

Genotypic Characteristics

25
Q

Some examples are colony morphology, staining, and biochemical and susceptibility tests.

A

Phenotypic Characteristics

26
Q

It includes readily observable characteristics, such as the morphological features, as well as those traits that may require extensive analytical procedures.

A

Phenotypic Characteristics

27
Q

It is based on the features beyond the genetic level.

A

Phenotypic Characteristics

28
Q

It is useful in routine phylogenetic studies of microorganisms such as the understanding of morphology, physiology and metabolism, ecology, and genetic analysis.

A

Phenotypic Characteristics

29
Q

is based on evolutionary relationships of microorganisms starting from its genetic characteristics instead of just studying the general biologial
resemblance.

A

Phylogenetic or phyletic classification

30
Q

is a population of species that share the same biochemical properties

A

Biogroup

Q

also known as a morphotype, is a prokaryotic strain which diffen morphologically
from other strains

A

Morphovar

34
Q

is the observable physical and biochemical properties of the organisms

A

Phenotype

35
