Question

33.What is the major challenge shared by viruses, prokaryotes and eukaryotes regarding the physical structure of their genomes.

Expert Solution

Step 1

A genome refers to the collection of all the genes in a particular organism. Genomes are essentially sequences of nucleotides (either DNA or RNA) that code for genes.

All living organisms have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material.

Eukaryotes and most prokaryotes have DNA as the major genetic material, while viruses can have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material.

The replication process and production of genes from the genetic material are more or less similar in all the organisms.

25. A bacteriophage virus infects a bacterial cell, causing the cell's own chromosomal DNA to become fragmented. One of the new bacteriophage viruses being assembled in the cell accidentally scoops up some of the bacterium's chromosomal DNA. This bacteriophage virus goes on to infect a new bacterium. When it does so, it inserts DNA from the previous cell into the new cell. That DNA becomes integrated into the new cell's genome. This gene transfer process between bacteria is referred to as: A: Transformation OB: Transduction O C: Transcription OD: Conjugation
