Bio Term zygotic induction is When a prophage is passed into an F- cell during conjugation it may begin vegetative growth. The sudden release of a lysogenic phage from an Hfr chromosome when the prophage enters the F-(minus) cell, and the subsequent lysis of the recipient cell.

Bio Term Filter mating is A method where conjugation between donor and recipient bacteria is done on a millipore filter. Conjugation is often much more efficient on a solid surface, probably because the donor and recipient bacteria are fixed in close proximity facilitating stable mating bridge formation.

Bio Term deterministic is Referring to events that have no random or probabilistic aspects but proceed in a fixed predictable fashion.

Bio Term autoregulation is The control of the transcription of a gene by its own gene product.

Bio Term polar mutation is A mutation that affects the transcription or translation of part of the gene or operon downstream of the mutant site. For example, nonsense mutations, frameshift mutations, and insertion sequence(IS)-induced mutations.
