Q

how dopro differ from euk

A

A cytoplasm that lacks membrane-bound organelles
Their ribosomes are structurally smaller (70 S) in comparison to those found in eukaryotic cells (80 S)
No nucleus (instead they have a single circular DNA molecule that is free in the cytoplasm and is not associated with proteins)
A cell wall that contains murein (a glycoprotein)
Plasmids
Capsules
Flagellum

Q

what are plasmids

A

small loops of DNA that are separate from the main circular DNA molecule
Plasmids contain genes that can be passed between prokaryotes

Q

structure of virus

A

non-cellular infectious particles
A nucleic acid core (their genomes are either DNA or RNA, and can be single or double-stranded)
A protein coat called a ‘capsid’
envelope formed usually from the membrane-phospholipids of a cell they were made in
ribosomes) to produce new viral particles
