Across
- 3. a cycle in which viral genetic material incorporates into a host genome
- 4. a process needed for viral genetic material to stay in the host's DNA
- 6. a 'reverse' enzyme needed by retroviruses to make a DNA in a host cell
- 8. process of building a virus of its components
- 10. a feature of virus looks specifically different than in cells
- 12. a protein-made coat of a virus
- 13. diversity in genes which promotes fast evolution
- 14. a virus which destroys host cell and propagates aggressively
- 15. additional coating of a virus made of remains of a host's plasma membrane
- 17. thousand picometers
- 19. a virus which uses RNA as a genetic material which is transcribed into DNA in a host
- 20. destruction of a host cell caused by the virus
- 21. not only one (as an evolutionary origin of viruses)
- 22. set of specific chemical reactions missing in viruses
- 23. a hypothesis assuming that viruses come from cells which gradually lost many components
Down
- 1. a dormant virus staying in bacterial DNA
- 2. the time period which determines the evolutionary rate
- 5. a sequence in eukaryotic DNA which behaves as a retrovirus
- 7. a cycle in which viruses reproduce by destroying host cells and spreading to other cells
- 9. bacteria-infecting virus
- 11. a hypothesis assuming that viruses originate from taken and modified cell components
- 16. an organisms which uses another organism for resources and/or habitat
- 18. a cell in which a parasite settles
