RNA, Viruses, and Mutations

RNA - ribonucleic acid has:

• zero strands

• two strands

• one strand

• three strands

Adenine pairs with:

• Cytosine

• Guanine

• Coca-cola

• Uracil

Cytosine pairs with:

•  Guanine

•  Uracil

• Adenine

• Pepsi Cola

Messenger RNA’s job is to:

• deliver mail

• carry a message based off of DNA

• make announcements

• train puppies

Viruses are:

• About the same size as cells

• Much smaller than cells

• Much larger than cells

 The two types of virus replication cycles are:

• Lysol Cycle and Luge Cycle

• Lytic Cycle and Lysogenic Cycle

• Mystic Cycle and Photogenic Cycle

• Motorcycle and Bicycle

In the Lytic cycle, virsuses:

• scout out the best location for a vacation

• inject genetic material into the host cell and once taken in by the cell, the virus will reproduce

• throws a party in the cell

In the Lysogenic Cycle, viruses:

• Use swords and shields to attack

• Set up retirement communities

• Host cell replicates virus it also and virus’ genetic material

Mutations can occur when there is a change in:

• tidal waves

• nucleotides

• neon lights

• Adenine

Gene mutations include:

• Subway, Donut, and Icicle

• Subtraction, Detraction, and Incision

• Subversion, Demerit, and Incluison

• Substitution, Deletion, and Insertion
