| virus | nonliving strand of genetic material that cannot replicate on its own, has a nucleic core, a protein coat, and can invade cells and alter cellular function |
| capsid | outer protein layer that surrounds the genetic material of a virus |
| lytic cycle | viral replication process in which genetic material of the virus enters the host cell's cytoplasm, the cell replicates the viral DNA or RNA, and the host cell is instructed to manufacture capsids and assemble new viral particles which then leave the cell |
| lysogenic cycle | viral replication process in which viral DNA inserts into the host cell's chromosome, may remain dormant and later activate and instruct the host cell to produce more viruses |
| retrovirus | RNA virus, such as HIV, with reverse transcriptase in its core |
| prion | protein that can cause infection or disease |
