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