Is the phage virus harmful to humans?
NO because it's tail fibers will allow it to land only on certain a kind of bacteria and not on human cells.
How does macrophage function during healing bruise?
The macro-phage function is giving to the blood cells. This can cause death in a person.
What is the genetic material of a bacteriophage?
1. Size - T4 is among the largest phages; it is approximately 200 nm long and 80-100 nm wide. Other phages are smaller. Most phages range in size from 24-200 nm in length.2. Head or Capsid - All phages contain a head structure which can vary in size and shape. Some are icosahedral (20 sides) others are filamentous. The head or capsid is composed of many copies of one or more different proteins. Inside the head is found the nucleic acid. The head acts as the protective covering for the nucleic acid.3. Tail - Many but not all phages have tails attached to the phage head. The tail is a hollow tube through which the nucleic acid passes during infection. The size of the tail can vary and some phages do not even have a tail structure. In the more complex phages like T4 the tail is surrounded by a contractile sheath which contracts during infection of the bacterium. At the end of the tail the more complex phages like T4 have a base plate and one or more tail fibers attached to it. The base plate and tail fibers are involved in the binding of the phage to the bacterial cell. Not all phages have base plates and tail fibers. In these instances other structures are involved in binding of the phage particle to the bacterium.
Which grouping consists of connecting of connecting fibers that enable the cell to function as a unit?
Cytoskeleton consists of connecting fibers that enable the cell to function as a unit.
What is the function of the sharpey's fibers?
The function of the sharpey's fibers were specialized collagen fibers that help attach a tendon to a bone by deep penetration into bone at right angels.
What is the function of bacteriophage?
The function of bacteria is to reproduce. Bacteria is a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. They are also the cause of human and animal diseases. Some bacteria, like those in the intestines are friendly and needed for digestion.
What is the function of the muscle fibers?
muscle fibers contract the muscles when stimulated.
What does a phage inject when it attaches to a bacterium?
Dna and phage body
