Difference between Horizontal gene transfer and Provirus

Horizontal gene transfer vs. Provirus

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) or lateral gene transfer (LGT) is the movement of genetic material between unicellular and/or multicellular organisms other than by the ("vertical") transmission of DNA from parent to offspring. A provirus is a virus genome that is integrated into the DNA of a host cell.

Similarities between Horizontal gene transfer and Provirus

Horizontal gene transfer and Provirus have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bacteria, Bacteriophage, Cell (biology), DNA, Endogenous retrovirus, Genome, Lysogenic cycle, Prophage, Retrotransposon, RNA, Virus.

Bacteria

Bacteria (common noun bacteria, singular bacterium) is a type of biological cell.

Bacteriophage

A bacteriophage, also known informally as a phage, is a virus that infects and replicates within Bacteria and Archaea.

Cell (biology)

The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

Endogenous retrovirus

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are endogenous viral elements in the genome that closely resemble and can be derived from retroviruses.

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is the genetic material of an organism.

Lysogenic cycle

Lysogeny, or the lysogenic cycle, is one of two cycles of viral reproduction (the lytic cycle being the other).

Prophage

A prophage is a bacteriophage (often shortened to "phage") genome inserted and integrated into the circular bacterial DNA chromosome or existing as an extrachromosomal plasmid.

Retrotransposon

Retrotransposons (also called transposons via RNA intermediates) are genetic elements that can amplify themselves in a genome and are ubiquitous components of the DNA of many eukaryotic organisms.

RNA

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule essential in various biological roles in coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes.

Virus

A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms.
