1. Like living things, viruses have genetic material and 2. viruses can evolve.
- Viruses share many genes with their host cells. Viruses are dependent on living organisms, which lead to some living characteristics - they can reproduce/replicate in living host cells, mutate, appear in different strains, and have unique genetic material. However, viruses are classified as not living things because they can’t carry out the necessary processes that meet all requirements for the classification of a living thing. They do NOT undergo respiration and cannot generate energy needed to survive on its own, but viruses *do* share a few features with living things.
Other than contributing to potential increase in diversity of species in an ecosystem, exotic species have positive benefits like removing toxins from the soil, regulating erosion, and controlling undesirable species.
Answer:
Point-source pollution is easy to identify. As the name suggests, it comes from a single place. Nonpoint-source pollution is harder to identify and harder to address. It is pollution that comes from many places, all at once.
The major difference between bacterial chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes is that bacteria have a single circular chromosome whereas eukaryotes have several linear chromosomes.
Eukaryotic chromosomes are present within the nucleus while prokaryotic chromosomes are found in the nucleoid (a region of the cytoplasm). The nucleoid does not have a membrane.
In eukaryotic chromosomes, DNA is wrapped around histone proteins, which is further compacted by supercoiling and folding. However, in prokaryotic chromosomes, DNA is supercoiled and held together by nucleoid-associated proteins.
Prokaryotic chromosome is very simple in comparison to the eukaryotic one. Prokaryotic chromosome lack telomeres and centromeres sequences which is found in the eukaryotic chromosomes.
