Across
- 4. viral replication process in which viral DNA inserts into the host cells chromosome bacteria microscope
- 6. dormant bacterial cell able to survive for long periods during extreme environmental conditions
- 7. microscopic prokaryotes most are beneficial to the environment but some can cause disese
- 9. nonliving strand of genetic material
- 10. protein that can cause infections or disease
- 11. polysaccharide layer secreted around the cell wall
- 12. asexual form of reproduction in which cell divides into the genetically identical cells
Down
- 1. prokaryotic cell that contains a large, circular chromosome
- 2. outer protein layer that surrounds the genetic material of a virus
- 3. RNA virus, such as HIV, with reverse transcriptase in its core
- 5. form of reproduction used by some prokaryotes in which the prokaryotes cells attach and exchange genetic material
- 8. submicroscopic structure made of protein that can help a bacterial cell attach to environmental surfaces
