Across
- 5. typically found on the surface of cells,
- 7. integration of the bacteriophage nucleic acid into the host bacterium's genome
- 8. misfolded proteins with the ability to transmit their misfolded shape onto normal variants of the same protein
- 9. the destruction of the infected cell and its membrane.
- 10. the protein coat or shell of a virus particle, surrounding the nucleic acid or nucleoprotein core.
Down
- 1. virus that parasitizes a bacterium by infecting it and reproducing inside it.
- 2. the coiled or polyhedral structure, composed of proteins, that encloses the nucleic acid of a virus.
- 3. inserts a copy of its RNA genome into the DNA of a host cell that it invades, thus changing the genome of that cell.
- 4. the viral DNA begins to replicate and form proteins.
- 6. a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease
