3. Regardless of the genome, somehow the virus must get the cell to make ___ for the transcription process.
5. The name of the shape of a virus where it is in a cylindrical shape with a hollow tube made of proteins in the middle.
7. The outermost phospholipid membrane surrounding the capsid that some viruses have derived from a host cell and encloses the capsid.
8. A virus with DNA as it’s viral genome, uses _____ to make more copies of itself upon entering the hosts’ nucleus.
11. Viruses and bacteria are similar in the sense that they are not capable of this activity on their own and need other cells (host cells).
13. A virus that does not have an envelope or spikes(in most cases) is called a ____ virus.
14. Proteins that stick out of the cell membrane to bind to a potential host cell and this is the main thing that our immune system will recognize.
15. Viruses have no cells, meaning they are _____.

1. This type of virus is an example of an enveloped virus.
2. A virus is called this in the state where it is outside of a host cell, incapable of doing replication.
4. This is responsible for encoding the genetic information of each virus and can be either DNA or RNA.
6. A protein coat that ALL viruses must have to contain viral genome.
9. These occur when spikes are constantly adapting.Also the reason why original vaccines or antibodies don’t prevent protection sometimes.
10. This intracellular structure will read the mRNA to make proteins.
12. The virus will become active intracellularly when the capsid has been ____.
