TermDefinition
plasmid any size gene and DNA, no cell specificity, no immune response trigger, doesn't insert itself into the middle of chromosome, less efficient at entering cells, needs a helper virus to replicate.
liposome genes of any size and DNA, no cell specificity, unlikely to trigger immune response, will not integrate into the host cells genome, less efficient
herpes virus carry a gene up to 20,000 bp and DNA, nervous system cells only, unlikely to trigger immune response but can cause one, will not integrate into the host cells genome, less efficient
adeno-associated virus carry a gene up to 5,000 bp and DNA, enter dividing and non dividing cells and variety of cell types, unlikely to trigger immune response, will integrate making effects long lasting, efficient at entering cells, helper virus to replicate
adenovirus carry a gene up to 7,500 bp and DNA, enter dividing and non dividing cells and variety of cell types, can cause an immune response, will not integrate so effects are temporary, efficient at entering cells
retrovirus carry a gene up to 8,000 bp and RNA, only effects dividing cells, can cause an immune response, will integrate making effects long lasting, only infects dividing cells, can cause cancer, not efficient at entering cells
lentivirus gene up to 8,500 bp & RNA, enter dividing and non dividing cells & variety of cell types, unlikely to cause immune response, will integrate making effects long lasting, efficient at entering cells so high levels of therapeutic protein production, cancer?
Cas 9 edits DNA in cells, potential to treat genetic disease, defeat viruses, produce better crops. binds to PAM sequence, unwinds DNA, bind guide RNA to complementary target DNA strand,

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
