Lifecycle of a virus
Across
- 2. The bursting of a host cell during the lytic cycle, releasing new viruses
- 3. The dissemination of viruses to new hosts via transmission methods like droplets or contact
- 7. The DNA or RNA that contains the virus's genes
- 10. The process of a bacterium dividing, also replicating prophage DNA
- 11. Cells that viruses infect in order to replicate
Down
- 1. The process by which a virus uses the host cell's systems to produce its own components
- 4. The creation of new virus particles within the host cell
- 5. Viral DNA that is integrated into the host’s genome in the lysogenic pathway
- 6. The nucleic acids and proteins that make up new viruses
- 8. Biological entities that must infect a host cell to replicate
- 9. Process by which a prophage exits the bacterial chromosome to start the lytic cycle
