Transposons
Integrated-part of a genome
Plasmids
Autonomously, have own origin of replication
Viruses
Both, they are episomes
Viruses are all Made up of ______ and _________; some Also have ______ _________(hides from immune system)
Nucleic acids, proteins, lipid bylayer
Who discovered viruses?
Wendell Stanley, tobacco plants infected with TMV , crystallize
Barbara McClintock studied______, and discovered _________..
Corn, transposons
Genome
How viruses replicate, set of genetic instructions
2 types of replication?
Autonomous and integrated
Autonomous replication
Independent of what rest of cell does
Integrated replication
Must be part of a genome
Conjugation
Plasmids are passed from one bacterium to another
Conjugation happens through what?
The pillus
Plasmids can contain ________ _______ (bad for ____, good for _____)
Resistance genes, us, bacteria
Tumor viruses contain _______
Oncogenes
Viruses can be examples of?
Episomes
If virus has RNA genome…
It can make proteins right away
If viruses make DNA first…
Follows central dogma
Are viruses subject to natural selection?
Yes
Bacteria can survive viral infection if
Their restriction enzymes cut up the viral DNA before the virus takes over
