Bacteriophage viruses are nonliving. They are DNA or RNA encapsulated in a protein coated capsule with recognition sites to bind to specific target sites on bacteria and insert their genetic material for viral replication or to induce changes in the bacterial genetic material.

Is T4 bacteriophage a DNA or RNA virus?
DNA
What is the best known bacteriophage and what virus does it attack?
Bacteriophages ARE viruses that attack bacteria, making this question invalid. But if they meant to say "what bacteria does it attack?" then I would say T4 and E. Coli
What is T in T4 bacteriophage?
The T stands for "tadpole."B-cells are named after the first location in which they were observed, the Bursa of Fabricius.
What does it mean by a concatemeric molecule?
A concatemeric DNA is the product of multiple replication and recombination. The result of this multiple replication is a molecule which contains many copies of the same DNA connected end-to-end. For example the bacteriophage T4 uses concatemeric DNA for the generation of mature virus particles.
What is a virus that infects E coli bacteria?
T4 Phage
What type of disease does the t4 virus cause?
This type of virus is a bacteriophage. It attacks bacteria. The T4 bacteriophage attacks E. coli.
Is T4 bacteriophage a DNA or RNA virus?
DNA
Which viruses inject their DNA?
Bacteriophage T4 virus
What does T4 indicates in T4 bacteriophage?
the head
What does a spacecraft virus look like?
Spacecraft virus looks like the Lunar Lander used in the Apollo Missions. Viruses of this type are called phages. The typical "Spacecraft virus" that you see illustrated in textbooks is typically a T4 Bacteriophage, also called "Enterobacteria Phage T4"
A virus that infects a bacterial cell is called?
Bacteriophage is the name given to a virus that infects bacteria. The name is frequently abbreviated to 'phage'. T4 phage is subject to a wide variety of experiments because it infects E. coli, and E. coli is one of the safer, more abundant and best understood bacteria to study.
What is the real name for spacecraft virus?
The spacecraft virus is only named such because the shape of the virus looks like the Lunar Lander used in the Apollo Missions. Viruses of this type are called phages. The typical "Spacecraft virus" that you see illustrated in textbooks is typically a T4 Bacteriophage, also called "Enterobacteria Phage T4"

What is the best known bacteriophage and what virus does it attack?
Bacteriophages ARE viruses that attack bacteria, making this question invalid. But if they meant to say "what bacteria does it attack?" then I would say T4 and E. Coli
What has the author Woo-Kul Lee written?
Woo-Kul Lee has written: 'Kinetic modeling of the adsorption of structural stability mutants of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme at solid-water interfaces' -- subject(s): Bacteriophage T4, Absorption and adsorption, Lysozyme
What is a lysogenic bacteriophage?
Lysogenic is when the virus enters and binds into the hosts DNA and one could replicate slowly or two when the virus sense the host cell is about to die, the virus will go into lyic cycle and replicate and kills the host cell.
Which events occurs in the lytic cycle of bacteriophage T4 infection but not in the lysogenic cycle?
Digestion of host DNA.
