Viruses
Across
- 3. The stage in which viral DNA is inserted into a host cell's DNA and remains dormant.
- 5. Refers to the spread of a virus between organisms.
- 8. Occurs when a host cell makes thousands of copies of the viral capsid and DNA.
- 9. This causes changes on the protein surface of viruses.
- 10. Occurs when a virus injects its nucleic acid into a host cell.
- 11. Showed that a viral particle could reinfect an organism.
- 13. Nucleic acid is found here.
- 14. Viruses that produce a DNA copy of their RNA genes when they infect a host cell.
- 17. Created the first vaccine for a viral disease.
- 18. The cycle in which a virus infects a host, reproduces and is released to infect more hosts.
Down
- 1. Occurs when an infected cell bursts.
- 2. Viruses that specifically invade bacterial cells.
- 4. Viruses need this in order to reproduce.
- 6. Describes how a virus attacks a specific type of cell within a specific type of species.
- 7. The name of the protein coat that surrounds the core.
- 12. This cycle includes the production of a prophage.
- 15. The double stranded nucleic acid found in the core.
- 16. Occurs when a host cell produces the viral proteins & when its own DNA begins to degrade.
