Q

Virus hijacks

A

A cells transcription and translation machine ties to express genes needed to make additional copies of the virus… The virus tricks host cell into making viruses

Q

Attachment: Virus only attacks

A

CD4+ cells, viral gp120 glycoproteins attaches to CD4 protein on macrophages and Cd4 cells . Correceptors like CCR5 protein affect likelihood of entry located on cd4 surface. People with a mitigation for the protein are resistant

Q

Molecular classification of prokaryotes

A
  1. Amino acid sequences of key proteins
  2. Percent guanine-cytosine content
  3. Nucleic acid hybridization (closely related species will have more base pairing)
  4. Gene and RNA sequencing
    Especially RNA
  5. Whole genome sequencing

A

1) Unicellularity and variable is size
2) chromosome
3) cell division: binary fission
4) single replication origin mechanism
5) genetic recombination
6) no internal compartmentalization
7) cell walls different layers
8) flagella simple

Q

Prokaryotes have

A 
Chromosome
Cell wall
Plasma membrane
Capsule or slime later
Cytoplasm
Plasmid (DNA)
Food granule
Proka-flagellum 
Ribosomes
Pili
16
Q

DNA replication of prokaryotes

A

Single replication origin mechanism

17
Q

Prokaryotes gene expression

A

Bacteria- only one RNA polymerase

Archae- two or mor RNA polymerases and these enzymes are similar to those of eukaryotes

18
Q

Prokaryotes genetic recombination

A

Occurs through Horizontal gene transfer, not a form of reproduction

19
Q

Archea have an ___ link and bacterial has an ____ link. Archea hydrophobic tail — branched with h3ch3 and bacterial — branched with h3ch3

A

Ether;Esther; is branched; is not branched

20
Q

Gram positive

A

Thick network of peptidoglycan

Also contain lipoteichoic and technic acid (bacterial polysaccharides)

21
Q

Gram negative

A

Thin layer
Second outer membrane with lipopolysaccarides
Resistant to many antibiotics

22
Q

Endospores and internal membrane are not found on? What are each?

A

Archea; develops thick wall around genome when exposed to environment stress and highly resistant to stress like heat. When Conditions improve can germinate and return to normal cell division; function in reputation or photosynthesis

23
Q

Types of horizontal gene transfer

A

Conjugation- cell to cell contact
Transduction- by bacteriophages
Transformation- from the environment

24
Q

Generalized transduction

A

Phage makes mistakes and sometimes they package host DNA in place of phage DNA producing a transducting phage

25
Q

Uptake of DNA from the environment, cell dies and spills fragmented DNA and DNA is taken by another bacteria cell

A

Transformation

26
Q

Tb does what?

A

Afflicts respiratory
Easy person person transfer
Multi drug resistant strains alarming

27
Q

Dental caries (tooth decay) does

A

Plaque consists of bacterial biofilms

Tooth enamel degenerates

28
Q

Peptic ulcers

A

Helicobacter pylori main cause

Treated with anti biotics

29
Q

Gonorrhea

A

Prevalent communicable disease in North America … Transmitted through exchange of body fluid … Pass from mom to baby in birth canal

30
Q

Chlamydia

A

Silent std

Can cause PID and heart problems

31
Q

Syphilis

A

Transmitted through sex or contact with open chancre
