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