What else can I help you with?
Is the results of the transfer of hereditary information from one species to another called dihybrid?
No, the transfer of hereditary information from one species to another is not called dihybrid. A dihybrid refers to an organism that is heterozygous for two different traits, typically studied in the context of Mendelian genetics. The transfer of hereditary information between species is more accurately described by terms such as horizontal gene transfer or transgenesis, depending on the context.
What are some key differences between horizintal gene transfer gene transfer and vertical descent with mutation?
horizontal gene transfer refers to a transfer of DNA to another cell that is not its offspring. Vertical occurs when 2 organisms have sex with their penis and produce offspring, it receives genetic material from ancestors (parents)
How does a pathogen enter a new reservoir?
A pathogen can enter a new reservoir through various routes, such as direct contact with infected animals or consumption of contaminated food or water. Once in the new reservoir, the pathogen may adapt to the new host species and establish infection cycles within that population.
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
What genus of bacteria is a pathogen in the Betaproteobacteria group?
One notable genus of bacteria that is a pathogen in the Betaproteobacteria group is Burkholderia. This genus includes several species, such as Burkholderia cepacia, which can cause opportunistic infections, particularly in individuals with cystic fibrosis or weakened immune systems. Other species, like Burkholderia pseudomallei, are responsible for the disease melioidosis.
What is a promiscuous plasmids?
A promiscuous plasmid is a type of DNA molecule that can be transferred between different bacterial cells through processes such as conjugation, transformation, or transduction. These plasmids often carry genes that promote their own transfer and can spread rapidly among bacterial populations.
How does lateral gene transfer occur between individuals of a species?
Lateral gene transfer in a species happens when genetic material is exchanged between individuals through processes like conjugation, transformation, or transduction. This allows for the transfer of genes that can lead to genetic diversity within a population.
What is the function of the Ti plasmid?
The Ti plasmid is a circular DNA molecule found in Agrobacterium species. It serves as a vector for transferring genes into plant cells, leading to the formation of crown gall tumors. The transferred genes help the bacterium infect and genetically modify the plant cells to its advantage.
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.
Can rabbits get worms from cats?
No, rabbits cannot get worms from cats. Each species has its own specific types of parasites that do not typically transfer between them.
Can one species transfer gene to different species?
Yes, gene transfer between different species can occur through mechanisms such as horizontal gene transfer, particularly in bacteria, where genes can be exchanged via transformation, transduction, or conjugation. In plants, gene transfer can happen naturally through hybridization or can be facilitated by human intervention, such as genetic engineering. Additionally, some viruses can carry genes from one species to another, contributing to genetic diversity. However, such transfers are typically more complex and less common in multicellular organisms compared to microorganisms.
How does a pathogen enter a new reservoir?
A pathogen can enter a new reservoir through various routes, such as direct contact with infected animals or consumption of contaminated food or water. Once in the new reservoir, the pathogen may adapt to the new host species and establish infection cycles within that population.
Can a dog get lice from a human?
No, dogs cannot get lice from humans. Lice are species-specific parasites, meaning they are adapted to live on a specific type of host and cannot easily transfer between different species.
