Across
- 2. whip-like structures used for movement
- 4. infection a virus embeds its DNA into the DNA of a host cell and is replicated along with the host cell
- 5. fission doubles in size, replicated DNA then divides to produce two "daughter" cells
- 7. multi-cellular organism with a nucleus
- 8. a virus that can cause cancer
- 9. particles of nucleic acid, protein and lipids that can only reproduce by infecting other living cells
- 10. A thick-walled protective spore that forms inside a bacterial cell and resists harsh conditions.
- 13. rod shaped bacteria
- 15. An RNA virus that reproduces by transcribing its RNA into DNA and then inserting the DNA into a cellular chromosome; an important class of cancer-causing viruses.
- 16. spherical shaped bacteria
- 17. infection virus enters a cell, makes copies of itself, causes the cell to burst
