True or false bacteriophages are viruses that parasitize bacteria?
I wouldn't call bacteriophages parasites, but yes they are viruses which infect bacteria.
What virus infect bacteria?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria. These viruses inject their genetic material into a bacterium, which then uses the bacterium's machinery to produce more phages. This eventually leads to the lysis of the bacterium and release of new phages to infect other bacteria.
How can viruses be helpful?
Viruses that are harmless to humans can be used to infect bacteria or other pests eg rabbits
Is bacteriophage in the domain archaea?
No, bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria, not archaea. Archaea are a separate domain of single-celled microorganisms that are distinct from both bacteria and viruses.

What types of organisms does bacteriophage attack?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria. They do not infect human cells or other eukaryotic organisms. Bacteriophages are specific to infecting particular bacterial species or strains.
How bacteria and viruses are alike?
Both viruses and bacteria can cause diseases, reproduce, infect something, contain genetic material, and are single celled.
