Across
  1. 3. A structure lying between the capsid and envelope of a virus that convinces the host to make copies of its nucleic acid and proteins
  2. 5. A glycoprotein that protrudes from the envelope of some viruses and helps with entry of the virion
  3. 6. An infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat
  4. 7. A chain of nucleotides, either DNA or RNA, that stores the information needed by cells to create proteins
  5. 8. The range of cells that can act as a host to a virus
  6. 10. Any infectious particle outside of a cell
Down
  1. 1. A type of virus that has an extra lipid membrane that comes from the original host cell
  2. 2. What is actually read by ribosomes in order to make a protein
  3. 4. Protein coat made of capsomere subunits that surrounds the viral nucleic acid
  4. 7. Nucleic acid + capsid
  5. 8. The organism that a virus uses to replicate itself
  6. 9. A type of virus that only has a nucleocapsid
