Across
- 4. spherical prokaryotes
- 6. process in which a virus enters a cell, makes a copy of itself, and causes the cell to burst
- 12. an unknown disease that appears in a population for the first time or a well-known disease that suddenly becomes harder to control
- 13. drugs that can be used to fight antibacterial infections
- 15. spiral and corkscrew shaped prokaryotes
- 16. viruses that infect bacteria
- 18. a thick internal wall that encloses the DNA and a portion of the cytoplasm
- 20. when a prokaryote has grown so that it is nearly doubled in size, it replicates DNA and divides in half, producing 2 identical cells.
- 21. infectious proteins
Down
- 1. A preparation of weakened or killed pathogens
- 2. rod-shaped prokaryotes
- 3. rod-shaped prokaryotes
- 4. A hollow bridge forms between two bacterial cells, and genes move from one cell to the other usually in the form of a plasmid
- 5. disease causing agents
- 7. spherical prokaryotes
- 8. infectious pathway of a virus in which host cells are not immediately taken over, instead the viral nucleic acid is inserted into the host cells dna.
