Prions A prion is a type of protein that can infect both people and animals by causing the brain's typically healthy proteins to fold improperly. Since prion are only proteins without any genetic material, their manner of action is very different from those of bacteria and viruses.

A prion is a type of protein that can infect both people and animals by causing the brain's typically healthy proteins to fold improperly.

Since prion are only proteins without any genetic material, their manner of action is very different from those of bacteria and viruses. Correctly folded proteins are changed into the disease-associated form once a misfolded prion enters a healthy person, possibly through the consumption of infected food. Nobody is exactly sure how this occurs as of yet.

Pride can be a positive trait as it helps an individual gain confidence in their work and skills, making them more successful and happier. However, pride can be negative as it may cause one to believe they are entitled to their success, and also may cause them to treat others inferiorly. Hope this helps! :)

Understanding what you do about the structure of DNA so far, do you think that every organism's DNA will look and act the same?
Over [174]
Every organism’s DNA will not look and act the exact same way. If the parent reproduces asexually is the only exception to that rule. However, if all organism’s DNA resembled and acted as a deer’s DNA, then all organisms would be deer. Therefore, there are genetic differences that separate species and ensure different behaviors from organism to organism. While the DNA will be similar by using the same four nucleic bases, there is an entirely different combination of those bases from organism to organism.
