Across
- 3. a protein coat that surrounds the genetic material of a virus
- 4. a small infectious agent composed of only nucleic acids and without protein
- 5. a form of viral replication in which the viral genes are added to and copied along with the host cell genome without destroying the host cell
- 6. a small infectious agent made up only of proteins
- 8. an organism, virus, or infectious protein that causes disease or illness in another organism
- 9. an enzyme used by retroviruses that makes a DNA copy of the viral RNA genome
- 10. a form of viral replication in which many copies of viruses are made within the host cell, causing the cell to burst
Down
- 1. a type of virus where the genetic material of the virus is converted from RNA to DNA, which is the reverse flow of genetic information
- 2. any virus that infects bacteria
- 4. a piece of genetic material enclosed in a protein coat
- 7. a drug made with an inactive or incomplete part of a pathogen used to increase a person's own immunity to that pathogen
