What else can I help you with?
Which viruses inject their DNA?
Bacteriophage T4 virus
What is a virus called that invades bacteria?
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages are specific to infecting bacterial cells and can inject their genetic material into the host bacterium, leading to replication and eventual destruction of the bacterial cell.
Why is uncoating not part of the bacteriophage life cycle?
Uncoating is not part of the bacteriophage life cycle because bacteriophages do not have an external capsid that needs to be removed to release their genetic material. Instead, bacteriophages inject their genetic material directly into a host bacterial cell.
Which is a type of Virus out of Bacteria Capsid Bateriophage and Pilus?
Bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria. It uses its protein capsid to inject its genetic material into a bacterial cell and replicate. Pilus is a structure found on bacteria that can be used for conjugation, the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells.
What does the cell make mRNA from the bacteriophage?
From genes
A virus that infects bacteria?
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages inject their genetic material into the bacteria and use the host's machinery to replicate. They are being studied for potential use in treating bacterial infections in humans.
What is the tail of a bacteriophage specialized for?
The tail of a bacteriophage is specialized for attaching to the host bacterial cell and injecting its genetic material into the cell. It helps the bacteriophage in recognizing and binding to specific receptors on the bacterial cell surface.
Why would the bacteriophage shown in the transparency not be able to enter any other type of cell?
because the bacteriophage is set to do so
Which best describes transduction in bacteria?
Bacteria transfer DNA with a bacteriophage.
Is T4 bacteriophage a DNA or RNA virus?
T4 bacteriophage is a DNA virus. It infects bacteria by injecting its DNA into the host cell and hijacking the cell's machinery to replicate its genetic material.
A bacteriophage is necessary for toxin production in?
A bacteriophage is necessary for toxin production in certain types of bacteria. This occurs when the bacteriophage infects the bacterial cell and inserts its genetic material, which can include genes encoding toxins. The bacterial cell then produces the toxin as part of the infection process.
Is a virus that infects bacteria called bacteriophage?
bacteriophage
