Document Summary
Marine slugs: aka solar powered opisthobranchs, elysia chlorotic, eats algae & eat their chloroplast (once obtained the 2 chloroplast, they no longer consume other organisms = photosynthesis, chloroplast donor = vaucheria litorea, characteristics. Tryanosomes: parasites for insects & mammals, carrier of sleeping sickness, once consumed by host, trypanosome could live in the intestines of the host, have unique mitochondrial genomes ( density + hockey-puck-shaped genome) Mini-circles are all connected to each other stacks up & forms the hockpuck-shape: the way that the mini-circles connect to each other can change. Valency = the number of rings that would make up a larger ring when a mini-circle is connected to 3 other mini-circles, it"s called a valency of three. Valency can change during replication a valency of three will become a valency of six during replication.
