- 1. another component of the protein coat
- 3. not all viruses have this but it is an external structure
- 8. can help identify the functions of certain genes
- 9. molecules of DNA that "jump"
- 11. detects possible mutagens
- 13. what the A stands for in SARS
- 17. this is needed to observe viruses
- 18. the expected genetic makeup of an organism
- 19. type of mutagen that is cancer causing
- 20. if an RNA has this sign in front it means it cannot make proteins
Down
- 2. an example of this would be green eyes
- 4. complete virus able to deliver its genome into host cell
- 5. the availability of this is a requirement of living cells for multiplication
- 6. a type of DNA and can never be a type of RNA
- 7. a single strand of this can be found in SARS-CoV-2
- 10. the unit which viruses are measured by (size)
- 12. enzyme helps recombine inverted repeats of nucleic acid
- 14. one component of a protein coat
- 15. this is a type of mutation that can be caused by an insertion or deletion of a gene causing a shift in the reading frame
- 16. is a virus considered living or nonliving
