Chapter 16- DNA Flashcards
Nonpathogenic
Non virulent
Pathogenic
Virulent (lethal/hard to kill by immune response)
Virus (structure)
Protein and DNA
only reproduce
Lytic Cycle
Viral reproduction
Replicates then destroys
Lysogenic cycle
Virus dormant then something causes lytic cycle
Why does immune system want to destroy cell after it is infected with the virus?
So it will not replicate and spread the virus to other cells through mitosis
What do viruses inject?
DNA
Ghost
Virus “shell” after DNA is injected into cell
Watson and Crick
Studied structure of DNA
Phosphodiester
Bond that holds DNA backbone together
Deoxyribose
DNA Sugar
Nucleotide
Phosphate + sugar + nitrogen base
Adenine and thymine bond
Double hydrogen
Cytosine and guanine (bond)
Triple hydrogen
Adenine and thymine (structure)
Purine Double rings (carbon backbone)
