Across
- 2. The protein coat that surrounds and protects a viral genome.
- 3. The stage when newly formed virus particles leave the host cell.
- 8. Rupture of a host cell that can release newly produced viruses.
- 10. A group of animal viruses with a single-stranded RNA genome that is reverse transcribed into DNA.
- 11. The initial binding of a virus to a specific receptor on a host cell.
- 14. The process of making copies of a viral genome.
- 16. A complete, infectious virus particle outside a host cell.
Down
- 1. A double-stranded RNA genome used by some animal viruses.
- 4. A host-derived lipid membrane found around some animal viruses.
- 5. A negative-sense single-stranded RNA genome that must be converted to +ssRNA before translation.
- 6. The organism or cell that a virus infects and uses to reproduce.
- 7. The stage when newly made viral genomes and proteins are put together into virions.
- 9. A common way enveloped viruses exit a host cell by pinching off its membrane.
- 12. The step in which a virus releases its genome from the capsid.
- 13. The stage after attachment when a virus or its genome gets into the host cell.
- 14. A host-cell surface molecule recognized by a virus during attachment.
- 15. A positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome that can be translated directly into viral proteins.
