Prokaryote vs Eukaryote Ultimate Showdown
Out of the Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic, which is simpler?
Prokaryote
This theory states that some forms of life could arise
from nonliving matter
Spontaneous Generation
This -ology is the study of bacteria
bacteriology
What is the main function of CRISPR-Cas9?
Edits DNA by cutting and modifying sequences.
Which reproduces by Binary Fission
Prokaryote
This french scientist helped to disprove spontaneous generation
Louis Pasteur
this -ology is the study of fungus
mycology
How can CRISPR help sickle cell patients?
Keeps fetal hemoglobin active in red cells.
Prokaryotic cell walls contain this molecule that eukaryotic cell walls do not
Peptidoglycan
This non-french scientist was the first to disprove spontaneous generation
Francesco Redi
This type of medication is used to treat retroviruses such as HIV
Antiretrovirals
What is CRISPR’s natural role in bacteria?
Defense against viruses by cutting viral DNA.
Prokaryotes lack this structure that eukaryotes use to control activities and store DNA.
This was the set-up for Redi's famous experiment (describe the whole thing!)
The experiment was... three jars with decaying meat, one open to air, one sealed to the air, and one covered with gauze
This -ology is the study of protozoa and parasites
parasitology
What controversy surrounded CRISPR in embryos?
Chinese scientist edited embryos for HIV resistance.
In prokaryotic cells, the occasional additional lipid membrane layer is known as this protective structure.
Outer membrane
This is the year that spontaneous generation was disproven
1668
This gene-editing technology allows scientists to precisely modify DNA sequences in living cells and organism, and was developed from bacteria
CRISPR-CAS9
Why is prime editing like a word processor?
It precisely searches and rewrites DNA.
