Across
- 2. a thick internal wall that encloses the DNA and portion of the cytoplasm
- 4. the protein coat surrounding a virus
- 5. bacteriophage DNA that becomes embedded in the bacterial host's DNA
- 6. such as penicillin and tetraqycline, that blocks the growth and reproduction of bacteria. It distrupts proteins or cell processes that are specific to bacterial cells
- 9. a preparation of weakened or killed pathogens or inactivated toxins
- 10. disease causing agents
- 12. HIV belongs to a group of RNA virus that are called retroviruses
- 13. rod-shaped prokaryotes
- 15. some bacterial viruses, including the bacteriophage lambda. In which a host cell is not immediately taken over.
- 17. a hallow bridge forms between two bacterial cells, and genetic material, usually in the form of a plasmid, moves from one cell to the other
- 18. clumps of tiny protein particles in the brains of infected sheep
- 19. an unknown disease that suddenly becomes harder to control
Down
- 1. spherical prokaryotes
- 3. virus that infect bacteria
- 7. when a prokaryote has grown so that's grown so that it has nearly doubled in size, it replicates its DNA and divides in half, producing two identicle cells
- 8. spiral and corkscrew- shaped prokaryotes
- 11. a virus enters a bacterial cell, makes copies of itself, and causes the cell to burst of lyse (lys)
- 14. is a non living particle made of proteins, nucleic acids, and sometimes lipids
- 16. the smallest and most abundant of these microorganisms
