distantly related organisms ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Vertical gene transfer - correct answer✔✔movement of genetic material between related
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




organisms



Endosymbiotic Theory - correct answer✔✔theory that eukaryote organelles originated ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




through symbiosis between multiple micro-organisms.||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

,Negative-Sense RNA - correct answer✔✔RNA that is the complement of the mRNA needed ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




for protein translation. EX: viruses that cause measles, mumps, rabies, and influenza.
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Positive sense RNA - correct answer✔✔already set for translation; no replication of the
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




genome to form a complement strand is needed before protein translation can take place.
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Most abundant and diverse viruses. EX: polio, hepatitis C, and the common cold.

RNA Retroviruses - correct answer✔✔regenerate themselves by reverse transcription; when
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




it enters the nucleus of the host, viral reverse transcriptase produces complementary DNA
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




(cDNA) from the viral RNA genome then replicates that single stranded cDNA to produce
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
