What is a disease that is caused by a persistent viral infection?
What does 5-bromouracil replace in a DNA chain and what is its complimentary paring? Why is this important?
5-bromouracil replaces thymine, but it binds with guanine, which is a point mutation.
What type of mutation results from UV light radiation?
Induced mutation
What type of mutation results from x-ray radiation?
Induced mutation
How does a cell become an Hfr cell?
By incorporating the cell's plasmid into its DNA chromosomes, a F+ becomes a Hfr cell.
When the Hfr cell performs conjugation with an F- cell, what does the Hfr cell transfer to the F- cell?
During conjugation, the Hfr cell transfers part of the chromosome that has the inorporated plasmid to the recipient cell.
What usually happens to the Hfr cell's chromosome when it transfers the chromosome to a recipient cell?
Usually, when a Hfr cell transfers the chromosome with a plasmid incorporated in it, the chromosome breaks or fragments.
What is the result of the chromosome fragmenting when an Hfr cell transfers the chromosome with the attached plasmid to the recipient cell?
During conjugation, if the Hfr cell's chromosome with its incorporated plasmid fragments, the recipient cell only obtains a portion of the chromosome and the plasmid.
After an F- cell completes conjugation with a Hfr cell, what is the recipient cell called?
Recombinant F- cell
Other than conjugation, how does an Hfr cell pass on its genetic information?
Vertical gene transfer
Which type of virus uses an envelope to attach to a host cell?
Human viruses
Which type of virus attaches to the host cell using tail fibers?
Bacteriophages
What must a virus have before it can attach to human cells?
A lipid envelope
How do I stop a human virus, if it is intracellular?
Stop it from uncoating
What would I prevent viral infection, Vitamin C or a surgical mask?
A surgical mask
Why does preventing viral attachment stop viral infection?
Viral bioreplication only occurs intracellular
Which type of virus causes an infection of a host cell that does not directly lead to the cell's death?
Temperate phages
Which viral life cycle actually has the phage replicating itself?
The lytic cycle
What must happen in the lytic cycle before a virulent page multiplies extracellularly?
The lysis of the host cell must release the phages extracellularly
What are the two types of mutations?
Induced and Spontaneous
