Across
- 2. Submicroscopic structure made of protein that can help a bacterial cell attach to environmental surfaces
- 5. Microscopic prokaryotes most are benifical to humans but a small percent are harmful
- 7. Fission: Asexual form of reprduction
- 8. Form of reproduction used by some prokaryotes in which the prokaryotic cells attach to each other and exchange genetic material
- 9. Area in a prokaryotic cell that contains a large circular chromosome
- 11. Cycle: Viral replication process in which genetic material of the virus enters the host cell's cytoplasm
- 12. Outer protein layer that surronds the genetic material of a virus
Down
- 1. Nonliving strand of genetic material that cannot replicate on its own
- 3. Protein that can cause infection or disease
- 4. Cycle: Viral replication process in which DNA inserts into the host cell's chromosome
- 6. Dormant becterial cell able to survive for long periods of time during extreme environmental conditions
- 10. Polysaccharide layer that surronds the cell wall
