  1. 3. A chemical secreted by a living organism that kills or reduces the reproduction rate of other organisms.
  2. 6. The science dealing with the description, identification, naming, and classifying of organisms.
  3. 7. a virus enters a cell, embeds its DNA into the DNA of the host cell, and is replicated along with the host cell DNA.
  4. 11. a temporary union of two organisms for the purpose of DNA transfer.
  5. 12. a thick internal wall produced by the bacterium that encloses the DNA and other essential parts.
  6. 13. Nomenclature naming an organism with its genus and species name
Down
  1. 1. feeds on dead matter
  2. 2. a noncellular infectious agent that has it has genetic material (RNA or DNA) inside a protective protein coat; it must infect a living cell to reproduce.
  3. 4. The process in which infection by a virus results in DNA being transferred from one bacterium to another.
  4. 5. an organism that causes disease
  5. 8. A virus enters a cell, hijacks the host cell's DNA replication system, makes copies of itself, and causes the cell to burst, releasing more virus.
  6. 9. a weakened or inactive version of a pathogen
  7. 10. The transfer of a DNA segment from a nonfunctional donor cell to that of a functional recipient cell.
