18
Q

A nonliving particle made of nucleic acid and a protein coat or nucleic acid and a lipid protein coat. Include a capsid and an envelope

A

Viruses

19
Q

Some RNA viruses are called these. Contain the enzyme reverse transcriptase in addition to RNA

A

Retrovirus

20
Q

Uses RNA as a template to make DNA which then inserts into the host cells genome

A

Prions

23
Q

During this cycle a virus invades a host cell, produces new viruses, and ruptures the host cell when releasing newly formed viruses

A
