Across
- 2. cycle, a process in which a virus infects a cell but does not destroy it, allowing the cell to naturally divide and copy the viruses’ genetic material
- 4. to burst open or destroy a cell
- 6. infectious particles made only of abnormal proteins; they contain no genetic information
- 7. cycle, rapid infection and destruction of a host cell, resulting in more virus particles
- 9. cells produced these proteins after they have been infected with a virus
- 10. infectious particles that are made of a short, circular strand of RNA
- 11. infects a host to continue activity
