virus
Across
- 3. cycle cycle of viral reproduction
- 4. any of a group of RNA viruses which insert a DNA copy of their genome into the host cell in order to replicate, e.g. HIV.
- 6. cycle The lysogenic cycle is a method by which a virus can replicate its DNA using a host cell.
- 7. site A molecular site or the docking port on the surface of, or within, a cell, usually involving proteins that are capable of recognizing and binding with specific molecules.
- 10. a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease.
Down
- 1. a virus that parasitizes a bacterium by infecting it and reproducing inside it.
- 2. a small petrel of southern seas, having a wide bill fringed with comblike plates for feeding on planktonic crustaceans.
- 5. reproduction Viral replication is the formation of biological viruses during the infection process in the target host cells. Viruses must first get into the cell before viral replication can occur.
- 8. the coiled or polyhedral structure, composed of proteins, that encloses the nucleic acid of a virus.
- 9. Coat A coat of proteins surrounding the nucleic acid of a virus. Supplement
