What kind of cell does a phage infect?
A phage infects bacterial cells by injecting its genetic material into the host bacterium. Once inside, the phage hijacks the bacterium's cellular machinery to replicate and produce more phage particles, ultimately leading to the bacterium's destruction.
A virus that reprduces in a bacterium is called a?
bacteriophage (literally, phage = eat, bacterio = bacteria)
What is a virus that reproduces in a bacterium called?
A bacteriaphage (literally bacteria eater) is a virus that reproduces in a bacterium.
What is the difference between virulent phage and prophage?
temperate refers to the life cycle some phages are able to perform. A temperate phage can integrate its genome into its host bacterium's chromosome, becoming a lysogen known as a prophage. A temperate phage is also able to undergo lytic life cycles, where the prophage is expressed, replicates the phage genome and produces phage progeny and the progeny phage leave the bacterium.The virulent phages have only lytic lifecycles and thus infection results in the host cell's death (due to lytic cell destruction-the phage replicates itself and then bursts the cell, releasing many copies).So they are both the same in that they both require a host cell to reproduce. They both can have lytic lifecycles but only the temperate phage can "hitch a ride" in the host cell by integrating into the genome.
What is a progeny phage?
Its a phage that will first inject its jizz in you, then the jizz will grow and flourish. After it coats your insides with ooey gooey goodness it will start eating away at your insides. Then as you start to scream, the frequency of the soundwaves will begin to further stimulate the jizz and cause you to burst, releasing more jizz and semen. Be careful though, because if you burst near someone else, the jizz will also infect them, and have the same effect
When a phage attaches to a bacterium what does the phage inject and what stays attached to the cell?
When a phage attaches to a bacterium, it injects its genetic material (DNA or RNA) into the cell. The phage capsid (outer protein coat) typically stays attached to the cell surface during this process.
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.
A virus that reproduces in a bacterium is called?
phage
When phage attaches to a bacteria the phage injects what?
DNA single
What kind of cell does a phage infect?

How does the size of a virus compare with the size of a bacterium?
A virus is much much much smaller then a bacterium. Virus called phage can infect bacteria.
A virus that reprduces in a bacterium is called a?
bacteriophage (literally, phage = eat, bacterio = bacteria)
During which process does one bacterium inject its DNA into another bacterium through thin tube called a pilus?
Transduction
What enzyme does Bacteriophages use to breach bacterial cell wall?
Bacteriophages use lysozyme, an enzyme that degrades peptidoglycan in the bacterial cell wall, to breach the bacterial cell wall and gain entry into the host cell. This allows the phage to inject its genetic material into the bacterium and replicate.
The bacteriophage attaches to the bacterium's?
cell wall using its tail fibers and injects its genetic material into the bacterium. This genetic material then takes over the bacterium's machinery to replicate more phages.
What is the difference between a virulent phage and a temperate phage?
In virology, temperate refers to the life cycle some phages are able to perform. Atemperate phage can integrate its genome into its host bacterium's chromosome, becoming a lysogen known as a prophage. A temperate phage is also able to undergo lytic life cycles, where the prophage is expressed, replicates the phage genome and produces phage progeny and the progeny phage leave the bacterium. The virulent phages have only lytic lifecycles and thus infection results in the host cell's death (due to lytic cell destruction-the phage replicates itself and then bursts the cell, releasing many copies).

A bacteriaphage (literally bacteria eater) is a virus that reproduces in a bacterium.
