Viruses
Review
Viruses
are intracellular
parasites
and can reproduce only within
cells.
Bacterial viruses (
) go through two alternative reproductive mechanisms.
The lytic
cycle
describes a
phage.
The lysogenic
cycle
describes a
phage.
Animal
viruses
include
RNA
viruses, some of which are
such as
HIV
that contain their own
transcriptase.

DNA
cloning
(making copies of a DNA segment) often makes use of a bacterial
.
Bacterial
enzymes
can be used to make
DNA.
The recombinant DNA can then be
in host
bacteria
and stored in genomic
libraries.
Restriction fragment
can detect differences in DNA
by using
gel
electrophoresis to
separate
restriction fragments of different lengths.
The polymerase
reaction
(PCR)
can make copies of a segment of DNA in
.
DNA sequencing can be done by the
chain termination
method.
DNA
can be used to study patterns of gene expression of an organism.
Some somatic cells remain
and can generate a whole
organism.
Mammalian
cells can be harvested from the
stage during embryonic development, or from some adult tissues, and can differentiate into several types of specialized
cells.
One technique for making
of animals is
nuclear
, which has been used to clone mammals such as
Dolly
and
Copy.
