| 9487284 | Virus | Sub-cellular non living particle | 0 | |
| 9487285 | Properties of a virus | 1. Subcellular. 2. Passive reproduction. 3. Metabolically inactive unless in contact with living cell. 4.Obligate parasites | 1 | |
| 9487286 | Capsid | Outer protein coat of a virus | 2 | |
| 9487287 | Capsomere | The "brick" of a capsid | 3 | |
| 9487288 | Lytic cycle | PHage reproductive cycle that ends in death of cell; named for when the cell/bacteria lyses(breaks open) | 4 | |
| 9487289 | Lysogenic cycle | Phage reproduction cycle in which the cell replicates the phage genome without destroying itself | 5 | |
| 9487290 | Bacteriophage | A virus that infects bacteria | 6 | |
| 9487291 | Provirus | Integrated viral DNA which never leaves host's genome | 7 | |
| 9487292 | Retrovirus | RNA animal virus with most complicated reproductive cycles; has an enzyme which turns RNA into DNA | 8 | |
| 9487293 | Viroid | Circular RNA molecule that infects plants; doesn't encode proteins but use cellular enzymes to replicate | 9 | |
| 9487294 | Prion | A misfolded form of a protein usually present in brain cells; causes degenerative brain diseases in some animals-changes protein structures of your own protein | 10 | |
| 9487295 | Restriction enzymes | Cellular enzymes that are able to recognize foreign DNA and can cut it up | 11 |
