Across
  1. 7. Replication in which the bacterial cell doubles in size, replicates its DNA, then it divides in half creating two identical cells
  2. 11. The protein shell surrounding a virus
  3. 13. A form of movement by protists in which a portion of the membrane is extended outward
  4. 15. Rod-shaped bacteria
  5. 16. A virus where its genetic information is RNA instead of DNA
  6. 20. Spiral/cork-screw shaped bacteria
  7. 21. A viral infection where the host is not immediately destroyed but instead is inserted into the host DNA
  8. 22. of Generations Life cycle where the organism alternates between a haploid form and diploid form
  9. 23. Long, slender branching filaments that comprise the body of a fungi
Down
  1. 1. Spherical bacteria
  2. 2. Reproductive structure of a fungus
  3. 3. Thick internal cell wall that will enclose the DNA and a small portion of the cytoplasm
  4. 4. A nonliving particle made of proteins, genetic information (nucleic acids), and at times lipids
  5. 5. A viral infection where the virus enters a cell, makes copies of itself, and then causes the cell to burst
  6. 6. Exchanging of information by bacteria where a hollow bridge forms between two bacterial cells and genetic information is swapped.
  7. 8. Short, numerous hairlike projections on a protist
  8. 9. Unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus
  9. 10. A thick-walled structure developed by protists capable of surviving unfavorable conditions; a stage of its life cycle
  10. 11. Polymer made of modified sugars found in the cell wall of fungi
  11. 12. A structure responsible for producing spores asexually
  12. 14. Mass of hyphae below the surface
  13. 17. Long hairs on the end of a protist and usually are one or two per protist
