Chapter 5 - Viruses
Across
- 4. Areas of a culture plate where virus infected cells have been destroyed showing up as clear, well-defined patches in the cell sheet
- 5. Third general stage of the animal viral replication cycle where viral genetic material starts replicating in the host cell
- 9. Virus-like agents that only affect plants, composed of naked stands of RNA without any type of coating
- 10. Viruses are ___, meaning they cannot multiply unless they invade a specific host cell and take over its genetic & metabolic machinery to make and release new viruses
- 14. Fifth general stage of the animal viral replication cycle where the newly assembled virions leave the host cell to infect other cells
- 15. First general stage of the animal viral replication cycle where virus binds to specific receptor sites on the cell membrane
Down
- 1. Second general stage of the animal viral replication cycle where the virus/its nucleic acid enters the cell's cytoplasm and releases its genetic material
- 2. Newly discovered virus-like entity made of twisted links of RNA that live in many humans' gut & mouth
- 3. A fully formed virus that has the ability to establish infection in a host cell
- 6. The effect of oncogenic viruses on host cells where the cell changes into cancer
- 7. The virus linked to Burkitt's lymphoma
- 8. Fourth general stage of the animal viral replication cycle where mature virus particles come together to create new and complete virions
- 11. Estimated percentage of cancers that are caused by viruses
- 12. The first discovery of viruses occurred in the tobacco plant where this viral disease was found
- 13. Viral nucleic acid can be one or the other of these, but not a combination of both
