Well...it is a collection of scientific words that when strung together, don't mean anything in particular.
---------------------------------------------
A bacteriophage is virus that infects bacteria and uses the bacteria's metabolic machinery to replicate itself.
A genome is the genetic sequence which determines the attributes of all known living things.
A phage is a shortened version of bacteriophage.
Phenotype is the observable expression of a gene.
Mapping a genome consists of sequencing the DNA (done through a few different methods) and creating a visual map which illustrates the location of predicted genes. These genes are then annotated to describe predicted expression and function (the phenotype).

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 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 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.
Do temperate phage form bacteriophage plaques?
Yes they can form plaques.
What is a virus that infects bacteria?
Bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects a bacteria.
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.
Scientific name for bacteriophage?
The scientific name for bacteriophage is "virulent bacteriophage" or "bacterial virus." Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria 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.
What does the prefix phage mean?
The prefix "phage" refers to a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It is commonly used in microbiology to describe viruses that specifically target bacteria.
What is a virus that inflects bacteria?
Phage or bacteriophage infects bacteria.
When a T2 bacteriophage infects an E. coli cell what part of the phage enters the bacterial cytoplasm?
the whole phage
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.
Do temperate phage form bacteriophage plaques?
Yes they can form plaques.
What is a virus that infects bacteria?
Bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects a bacteria.
A virus that reprduces in a bacterium is called a?
bacteriophage (literally, phage = eat, bacterio = bacteria)
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 temperate phage superinfection immunity?
c. Repression of the phage genome - A phage coded protein, called a repressor, is made which binds to a particular site on the phage DNA, called the operator, and shuts off transcription of most phage genes EXCEPT the repressor gene. The result is a stable repressed phage genome which is integrated into the host chromosome. Each temperate phage will only repress its own DNA and not that from other phage, so that repression is very specific (immunity to superinfection with the same phage).Reference: http://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/mayer/phage.htm
