    The document discusses prions, which are protein-only infectious agents that can assume two distinct structural forms and propagate information in a non-Mendelian fashion. Some evidence suggests that prions may play an adaptive role, as yeast prion proteins can facilitate the equal partitioning of proteins between daughter cells during cell division through the action of the molecular chaperone HSP104. This evidence implies that prions are at least partially adaptive.
