Protein Shell -Capsid
Capsomeres -Protein subunits of Capsids
Viral Envelope -Membrane that covers some capsids, it is derived from the host cell, copies the cells glycoprotein (cellular ID tag).
Copying Glycoprotein Cells -Causes virus to look like a normal cell to the immune system
Host Range -Kind of cells a virus can infect. -Each Virus has a different Host Range
Virus Cycles -Lysogenic Cycle -Lytic Cycle
Lysogenic Cycle - Host Cell lives -No symptoms -Viral DNA is incorporated to host cells chromosome (prophage)
Prophage -Viral DNA is incorporated to host cells chromosome
Lytic Cycle - host cell dies -host cell bursts -show symptons
Temperant Virus -Goes through both lytic and lysogenic cycles

New flu viruses _______, spreads ______ from person to person, little or no ________, high _____ ____. (emerges, easily, immunity, death rate)
Bird flu -Avain Influenza A -Type A Virus (H5N1 virus) -Very contagious: passes via bird saliva, bird nasal secretions, bird feces -Makes domesticated bird very ill (usually killing them) -Asia: 51% mortality at start
Swine flu -H1N1 or H3N2 -18,449 known deaths worldwide -2 weeks to completely develop antibodies after shot
HPV -Causes: cervical cancer, or genital warts for both men & women -Vaccine: Gardacil - Vaccine is made from proteins on outer coat of virus
Plant Virus -Most RNA viruses
What two ways are Plant Viruses spread? -Horizontal -Vertical
Horizontal Spread of Plant Viruses -Virus from external sources (garden, insects)
Vertical Spread of Plant Viruses -Inherit from parents (via the seeds)
Viriod - Circular RNA molecules -Infect Plants -Don't encode for proteins
Prions -Infectious misfolded proteins, cause degenerative brain diseases, passed along by food.
Mad Cow Disease -Degenerative Brain Disease -Called Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease in humans
Evolution -Processes that have transformed life on Earth from its earliest forms to today’s diversity
Jean Lemark -Scientist before Darwin who had theories on how life evolved, that made any sense
JL's Good Theories - Used fossil records -Related extinct species to extant species -Proposed changes were due to environmental adaptation
JL's Bad Theories -Use/Disuse -Inheritance of acquired characteristic
Use/Disuse -body parts used a lot become bigger and stronger, parts not used deteriorate
Inheritance of acquired characteristic -modifications acquired during lifetime passed on to offspring
Gradualism -Populations evolve slowly over time
Origin of Species -Published by C.D. in 1859 -2 Main Ideas -He wrote the book 10 years earlier but didn’t publish it because the ideas went against the church -He finally presented his ideas when a man named Alfred Wallace was about the publish the same findings
Alfred Wallace -Young Scientist who went to Charles Darwin to get his opinion his works & findings. -His findings were similar to Darwin's own work.
Natural Selection Theory -Two populations of a species isolated in different environments diverge as they become adapted to local conditions -Over many generations the two populations become dissimilar enough to be considered separate species
Decent with Modification -1st Main Idea from Charles Darwin's book, Origin of Species -Everyone comes from a common ancestor -Branching Tree
Natural Selection -2nd Main Idea from Charles Darwin's book, Origin of Species -Result: Adaptation of organisms to their environment -Survival of the Fittest (Walters prefers term relative fitness) -Survival is not random
Survival _____ random (isn't) -Individuals best suited for the environment leave more offspring -Favorable characteristics accumulate and gradually change the population
Branching Tree - 1 common trunk, multiple branches - similar species, branch at top of tree -dissimilar species, branch near base of tree -most branches are dead-ends (99% species extinct)
Relative Fitness -Synonym of Survival of the Fittest -if produce more individuals than environment can support, struggle for existence, only fraction survive
"Speedy" natural selection -Darwin noticed this -Insecticide resistant insects -Drug resistant viruses/bacteria
Charles Darwin -Born in England 1809 -Dad wanted him to be Doctor -Failed out of Medical School -Went to Cambridge to join clergy -Considered Gradualist -Wrote Origin of Species -Married cousin
Charles Darwin's Voyage -Dec 1831 he sailed as a naturalist on the H.M.S Beagle -Beagle charted the S. American coastline and Darwin collected specimen -Went to Galapagos Islands -Trip lasted 5 years
Studies in the Galapagos Islands -Occurred during his 5 year trip on H.M.S. Beagle -Most of his work on the different beak shapes of finches
Microevolution -Smallest scale of change in a population over generations
Population -group of individuals of a species that share a common geographic area
Species -Groups of populations that have the potential to interbreed in nature
5 conditions to maintain Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium (No changes in gene pool.)* Helpful Mnemonic: Really Loud Noise Gets Nerds Mad 1. Random Mating 2. Large Population 3. No Gene Flow 4. No Natural Selection 5. No Mutations
If any condition of _____ ________ ___________ is violated it leads to ______________. (Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium, microevolution)
Gene Flow -Migration of fertile individuals of transfer of gametes b/w populations Example: Pollen in the wind
Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium -Non- evolving population -Used as a reference point
Natural Selection can alter the _________ in _ ____. (Population, 3 ways) -Directional Selection -Disruptive Selection- Stabilizing Selection
Directional Selection -Everything evolves towards one extreme
Disruptive Selection -Everything evolves towards both extremes
Stabilizing Selection -Everything evolves towards the middle
Genetic Drift -Changes in gene pool of population due to chance.
Small Populations -Less than 100 individuals -cause Samling Errors
Mutation -Restore Variation
Founder Effect -Few individuals colonize a new habitat
Bottleneck Effect -Population drastically reduced by natural disaster
Sampling Errors -Are caused by small populations. -Cause Genetic Drift
Neutral Variation -Variation with no advantage/disadvantages, no impact on reproductive success
Preserve Genetic Variation -Diploidy -Balancing Selection
Diploidy -AKA heterozygote protection -Maintain recessive allele in heterozygotes -Allele exists but it is not detrimental because it is not expressed -Maintains large gene pool
Balancing Selection -Heterozygous Advantage -Frequency Dependent Selection
Heterozygous Advantage -Heterozygotes have a better chance at survival and reproductive success Example: Sickle Cell AA: don’t have sickle cell, no resistance to malaria Aa: don’t have sickle cell, have resistance to malaria aa: have sickle cell, have resistance to malaria
Frequency Dependent Selection -Success at any one morph declines when phenotypic form becomes too common
Allele Frequency p + q = 1
Genotype Frequency p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
Dominant Allele Frequency p
Recessive Allele Frequency q
Dominant Homozygotes Genotype p^2
Recessive Homozygotes Genotype q^2
Heterozygotes Genotype 2pq
Speciation -When one species splits into two or more species
Biological Species Concept -Population (or group of populations) whose members have the potential to interbreed in nature and produce viable, fertile offspring
Reproductive Isolation -Prevent interbreeding between different species
Hybrid -2 different species mate
Biological Barriers -Pre-Zygotic -Post-Zygotic
Geographical Barriers -Allopatric Speciation -Sympatric Speciation
Tempo of Speciation -Gradualism vs. punctuated equilibrium (evolution happens real quickly with some change, and then no changes for a really long time… one quick change with a lot of stasis in between)
Sympatric Speciation -Definition: No barrier, generally a mutation creates a new species -Generally found in plants -Accidents in cell division that resulted in extra sets of chromosomes (polyploidy) -Over 80% of plants
Allopatric Speciation -Definition: Physical barriers, evolve to different species over time -Initial block of gene flow is a geographic barrier that separates populations -Effectiveness of barrier depends on ability of organisms to disperse EX: glaciers or mountains
Pre-Zygotic -Habitat Isolation -Temporal Isolation -Behavioral Isolation -Mechanical Isolation -Gametic Isolation
Post-Zygotic -Reduced Hybrid Viability -Reduced Hybrid Fertality -Hybrid Breakdown
Internal Fertilization -Sperms don't survive
External Fertilization -Gametes don’t recognize each other
Reduced Hybrid Viability -Mortality as an embryo
Reduced Hybrid Fertility -Hybrids survive but are sterile
Hybrid Breakdown -1st generation of hybrids are viable and fertile, 2nd generation either die or are sterile
Mechanic Isolation -Anatomical incompatibility prevents sperm transfer
Gametic Isolation -Gametes of different species meet but do not fuse to form a zygote
Temporal Isolation -2 species breed at different times of day/season/year
Habitat Isolation -2 species live in the same area but different habitats
Behavioral Isolation -Species specific signals/behaviors
Gene Pool -All genes in population at any one time
