  8. Two things that make up a virus

  9. What is a protein coat and a nucleic acid?

  10. The protein coat is called this

  11. What is the capsid?

  12. Lipid layer that surrounds some viruses made from the host cell membrane

  13. What is the envelope?

  14. Nucleic acid found in Retroviruses

  15. What is RNA?

  16. Projections made of protein and sugar chains on the surfaceof an envelope to aid in attachment

  17. What are glycoproteins?

  18. Rabies and the measles viruses have this shape

  19. What is a helix?

  20. Viral shape consisting of 20 triangular sides

  21. What is an icosahedron?

  22. Enzyme found in retroviruses

  23. What is reverse transcriptase?

  24. Short pieces of protein that can cause Mad Cow disease

  25. What are prions?

  26. Short strands of RNA without a capsid that cause plant disease

  27. What are Viroids?

  28. Host cell for this phage

  29. What are bacteria?

  30. Most common types of these phages

  31. What are T-phages?

  32. Used to attach to their host cell

  33. What are tail fibers?

  34. Daily Double!!

  35. Attaches the head to the tail on this phage

  36. What is the collar?

  37. The only part of the phage NOT made of protein

  38. What is the nucleic acid?

  39. Required for a virus to become active and reproduce

  40. What is a host cell?

  41. Term for a deadly virus

  42. What is virulent?

  43. Cell Bursting due to newly formed viruses

  44. What is lysis?

  45. Made of the host’s DNA and viral DNA joined together

  46. What is a prophage?

  47. Life cycle of a virus that destroys the host cell

  48. What is the Lytic Cycle?

  49. Causes the disease known as AIDS
