Is a protist a pathogen?
Yes they can. Famous ones are Plasmodium the agent of Malaria or trypanosoma species the agents of sleeping illness or chagsa disease
Can fungi be pathogenic?
no
What describes a plasmid?
a small organelle a small loop of DNA a prokaryotic ribosome a prokaryotic membrane
How can you transfer electrons in a simple way?
Electron transfer (ET) occurs when an electron moves from an atom or a chemical species (e.g. a molecule) to another atom or chemical species. ET is a mechanistic description of the thermodynamic concept of redox, wherein the oxidation states of both reaction partners change.
When scientist transfer genes from one organism to the other it is called?
Horizontal and vertical gene transfers are the terms to account for the transfer of genes between organisms. Horizontal (HGT) or (LGT) transfer happens when non-traditional reproduction effectuates the transfer whereas vertical transfer (VGT) occurs when asexual or sexual reproduction effectuates the genetic movement from parents to offspring.
What types of vectors are used to carry DNA from one species into the DNA of another species?
There is a structure called a plasmid which can do this; it is bacterial in origin.
We are putting a gene from one species into another what are we actually transferring?
You would be actually transferring a set of codes expressed as codons that will form the gene. You would be cutting one gene from a chromosome and inserting it in to another chromosome. This is called lateral gene transfer. You would use an intermediate such as a plasmid or virus to complete this transfer. Vertical gene transfer is another name for the genes that a parent passes to their offspring.
What is hormonema dematioides?
a plant pathogen, causing reed needles of species af Abies
What does Macrophage do after it ingests a pathogen?
Upon engulfment of a pathogen macrophages will destroy the pathogen in the phagolysosome. This is accomplished through a variety of enzymes as well as the use of reactive oxygen species (free radicals), which are used to produce bleach. Macrophages can then break down the proteins of the pathogen and present them as antigens to T cells, although dendritic cells are much better at this last part.
What type of pathogen is hepatitis b?
The hepatitis B illness is caused by the hepatitis B virus, a species of the genus Orthohepadnavirus.
How can a virus play an active role in the evolution of their host species?
Inter-species gene transfer.
Is a protist a pathogen?
Yes they can. Famous ones are Plasmodium the agent of Malaria or trypanosoma species the agents of sleeping illness or chagsa disease
Why is it important for organisms of the same species to have a diversity of genes?
To frustrate parasites. A monoclonal culture is open to devastation to the first good pathogen.
How is Mechanical transmission differ from biological transmission?
Mechanical transmission does not involove any infection of the transmitter. The pathogen does not grow or multiply inside the transmitter and no intermediat developement of the pathogen occurs until it is transmitted to host by the transmitter. Biological transmission does include developement of the pathogen inside the transmitter species.
What is the advantage of diversity within species?
The advantage is that if there is a change in the environment - climate change, new pathogen, etc. - more diversity makes it much more likely that some members of the species survive.
What is the common name for Ebola virus?
The Ebola virus is the actual name of the pathogen that causes Ebola. Yes, it is a virulent pathogen, but that is to the name, just a description.
What are the names of pathogen of moniliasis?
Moniliasis is typically caused by Candida albicans, but may be caused by other candida species like C. glabrata.
