What else can I help you with?
The viral reproductive cycle in which a phage injects its DNA into a host cell and uses the cell's metabolic machinery to produce new phages which then causes the cell to rupture is called what cycle?
The viral reproductive cycle you are describing is called the lytic cycle. In this cycle, the phage hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate itself, leading to the destruction of the host cell when it bursts open to release new phages.
The viral reproductive cycle in which a phage injects its DNA into a host cell and the DNA is inserted into the host cells chromosome is called the what cycle?
The viral reproductive cycle you are describing is called the lysogenic cycle. In this cycle, the viral DNA integrates into the host cell's chromosome, remaining dormant until it is triggered to enter the lytic cycle.
What are temperate phages?
Temperate phages are bacteriophages that can follow two replication pathways: lytic and lysogenic. In the lytic cycle, they infect a bacterial host and replicate rapidly, causing cell lysis. In the lysogenic cycle, they integrate their DNA into the host genome, replicating along with the host without causing immediate cell lysis.
Why bacillus anthracis susceptible to gamma phage?
Bacillus anthracis is susceptible to gamma phage because the phage has evolved to target and infect specific receptors on the surface of the bacterium. This interaction enables the gamma phage to inject its genetic material into the bacterium, hijacking its machinery to produce more phage particles and ultimately leading to the destruction of the bacterial cell.
What does it mean for a virus to have a lysogenic reproductive cycle?
The lysogenic cycle replicates the phage genome without destroying the host. Similar to Lytic reproduction, Lysogenic also begins when the phage inserts its DNA or RNA into the host cell through its surface. Once the nucleic acid is inside the cell, it forms a circle, and becomes a part of the genome of the host cell. It does this through genetic recombination, or crossing over. Once it joins the host’s genome, it is called a prophage. Since it is a part of the host cell’s genome, the phage’s genetic information is copied and distributed to the daughter cells of the host cell, which continues dividing naturally. This allows the prophage to be repeatedly copied and passed on without destroying the host cell it depends on for metabolic and reproduction purposes. In order for actual active phages to be produced, the segment of genome from the original phage exits the genome of the host cell and becomes independent. When this occurs, it begins the lytic cycle, destroying the cell, but producing new and functional phages.
What happens first when a phage infects a bacterial cell and is going to enter a lysogenic cycle?
it becomes a part of the bacterial DNA and it can be replicated into the daughter cells. this cycle doesn't harm the bacterial cell but it can change into the lysis cycle and kill the host cell
The viral reproductive cycle in which a phage injects its DNA into a host cell and the DNA is inserted into the host cells chromosome is called the?
motor cycle
The viral reproductive cycle in which a phage injects its DNA into a host cell and the DNA is inserted into the host cell's chromosome is called the cycle?
B) Lysogenic
How does the reproduction of HIV and lambda phage differ?
The Lambda Phage bacterial virus replicates itself whilst the HIV virus binds itself to existing cells and damages them. Lamba Phage increases with a "lysogenic" cycle, whilst the increase of HIV is known as "Lytic".
The viral reproductive cycle in which a phage injects its DNA into a host cell and the DNA is inserted into the host cell's chromosome is called the?
lysogenic
When the bacteriophage DNA becomes part of the bacterial chromosome?
When bacteriophage DNA becomes integrated into the bacterial chromosome, it is known as lysogeny. The integrated phage DNA is called a prophage. During lysogeny, the bacteriophage DNA remains dormant, replicating along with the bacterial chromosome. Under certain conditions, such as stress, the prophage can become activated and enter the lytic cycle, leading to viral replication and cell lysis.

When a T2 bacteriophage infects an E. coli cell what part of the phage enters the bacterial cytoplasm?
the whole phage

The viral reproductive cycle you are describing is called the lysogenic cycle. In this cycle, the viral DNA integrates into the host cell's chromosome, remaining dormant until it is triggered to enter the lytic cycle.
What happens when a bacteriophage infects a bacteria cell?
When a bacteriophage infects a bacteria it enters either the lyctic or lysogenic cycle. the lyctic is the stages of: injection, reproduction, host destruction. The lysogenic cycle is when the virus' RNA mixes with the host cell's.
Phage typing is based on the fact that?
Bacterial viruses attack specific cells
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.
