Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes
Prokaryotes
- Smaller, simpler type of cell without a membrane-bound nucleus
Eukaryotes
- Larger, complex type of cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus
Viruses
- Strands of RNA or DNA surrounded by a protective protein coat
Lytic Cycle
- Attachment
- Injection/Entry
- Replication
- Assembly
- Release (lysis/breaking open)
Lysogenic Cycle
- Attachment
- Injection/Entry
- Integration into the host cell’s DNA
- Dormancy/Normal cell function
- Triggering of viral DNA to be released, then lytic cycle.
Radial Body Symmetry vs Bilateral Body Symmetry
Radial
- Can be divided along any plane
Bilateral
- Can be divided into 2 mirror halves
Binomial Nomenclature
- First word is the Genus
- Second word is the species
- Underline when hand-writing
