Does bacteriophage infect bacteria only?
yes, a bacteriophage is a bacteria/viral particle/any prion/etc... which infects a bacterial cell.
Why bacteriophage affects bacterial cell only?
mmmm not know me,i dum k
How do you get bacteriophage virus?
Phages can be isolateted in sewage or other enviromental places where the bacterial host it its aboundand.
How does a bacteriophage enter a bacterial?
Through a lysogenic or lytic infection
Chromosome of a bacterium?
Bacterial genomes are termed as chromatid in contrast to complex chromosome structures of eukaryotes
When the bacteriophage DNA becomes part of the bacterial chromosome?
During phage infection into bacteria, it penetrates phage DNA into bacterium,which will be integrated in to the bacterial genome (chromosome) to replicate and synthesize phage molecules.
What is a prophage gene?
A prophage gene is a gene of a bacteriophage (virus that targets bacteria) that is inserted and integrated into the circular bacterial DNA chromosome or plasmid. Bacteriophages reproduce by inserting their genome into that of a bacterium and thus getting their genes read and viral proteins produced.
What is called a virus that has a bacterial host?
bacteriophage
Why bacteriophage is important?
Bacteriophage kills the winner, in bacterial communities, the dominant species is attacked by the viruses.
HOW DOES A lysogenic infection help virus spread?
I don't know if this is what you are lookding for but here is what happens with a bacteriophage (a virus that infects bacteria) In a lysogenic infection the bactierophage DNA will insert itself into the bacterial chromosome and may replicate with the bacterium for many generations. (inactive) The bacteriohpage DNA can then exit the bacterial chromosome. If it does this then it can enter the LYTIC cycle.

What does the bacterial cell reproduce that the human gene codes for?
the bacterial cell reproduces the bacterial chromosome that the human gene codes for.
Do bacterial cells have a nuclues?
Bacterial cells are not eukaryotic cells, which means they do not have a nucleus. They do, however, have chromosome.
