Compare and contrast the chromosome structure of viruses, bacteria, and eukaryotes.

Give an example of a gene sequence that can be used to classify some bacterial or eukaryotic species.

Use the information to answer the following question. Two students were debating whether viruses are living or nonliving. Student A: Viruses are living because they contain DNA or RNA and reproduce. Student B: Viruses are nonliving because they do not grow and do not use energy. Which student's claim is correct and why? O A. Student B, because viruses do not use or make energy. Even though they contain DNA and RNA, many other non-living things also contain DNA and RNA. O B. Student B, because viruses do not grow and do not use energy. Although they have DNA and RNA, they are only able to reproduce with a host cell. O C. Student A, because viruses are able to reproduce and continue to spread their disease to other hosts. As the virus becomes more dangerous, it grows and becomes larger. O D. Student A, because all living things must have DNA or RNA. They must use energy in order to reproduce and make more viruses.

The virus causing the 2009 Flu Pandemic contained sequences from bird, pig, and humans. Why? The infected individuals happened to be infected with all three virus types. The human was likely infected with various bacterial strains that contained all three RNA viruses. The virus was descended from a common ancestor of bird, pig, and human flu viruses. Related viruses can undergo genetic recombination if the RNA genomes mix and match during viral assembly.

What are the potential benefits and disadvantages of using bacteriophages in place of antibiotics? Write at leat two paragraphs

Identify and briefly describe the 2 ways bacterial chromosomes are condensed and 3 ways eukaryotic chromosomes are condensed

How is Bacterial DNA structure similar or different with Fungal DNA structure? Please provide a picture for both structure/models
