Front 1

cilia

Back 1

hairlike structure arranged in tightly packed rows that projects from the surface of some cells

Front 2

flagella

Back 2

long, hairlike structure that grows out of a cell and enables the cell to move

Front 3

pseudopodium

Back 3

retractable, temporary cytoplasmic extension that functions in food ingestion and movement in certain amoeboid cells

Front 4

provirus

Back 4

viral DNA that has attached to a host cells chromosome and that is replicated with the chromosomes DNA

Front 5

retrovirus

Back 5

a virus that contains single stranded RNA and produces a reverse transcriptase, which converts RNA to DNA

Front 6

vector

Back 6

any agent that can incorporate foreign DNA and transfer that DNA from one organism to another; an intermediate host that transfers a pathogen or parasite to another organism

Front 7

pathogen

Back 7

virus, microorganism, or other organism that causes disease

Front 8

capsid

Back 8

protein sheath that surrounds the nucleic acid core in a virus

Front 9

envelope

Back 9

membranelike layer that covers the capsids of some viruses

Front 10

accessory pigment

Back 10

pigment that absorbs light energy and transfers it to chlorophyll in photosynthesis

Front 11

lytic cycle

Back 11

method of viral replication that results in the destruction of a host cell and the release of many new virus particles

Front 12

lysogenic cycle

Back 12

method of viral replication in which a viral genome is replicated as a provirus without destroying the host cell

Front 13

conjugation

Back 13

in algae and fungi, an exchange of genetic material that occurs between two temporarily joined cells. in prokaryotes, the process by which two organisms bind together and one cell transfers DNA to the other cell through a sex pilus

Front 14

binary fission

Back 14

a form of asexual reproduction in single-celled organisms by which one cell divides into two cells of the same size
