virus


What attaches to the bacteria and injects the hereditary material?

A bacteriophage. A virus that lands on the bacteria and injects the genetic material. Often, T even phages. ( T-2 and T-4 phages )


When phage attaches to a bacteria the phage injects what?

DNA single


A bacteriophage typically attaches to the bacterium and then?

injects its genetic material into the bacterium, taking over the bacterium's cellular machinery to replicate itself. Once the replication process is complete, the bacteriophage releases new viral particles, causing the bacterium to burst open and die.


What does a phage inject when it attaches to a bacterium?

A phage injects its genetic material (DNA or RNA) into the bacterium when it attaches to it. This genetic material then hijacks the bacterium's machinery to replicate itself, eventually leading to the destruction of the bacterium.


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 viruses are caused by bacteria?

it depends on the type of DNA the virus injects into the bacteria


What is the pathogen attacks specific cells and injects genetic materials?

Viruses attach specific cells and inject genetic material. There are viruses called bacteriophages that infect bacteria be injecting their genetic material into the bacterial host and invading their protein machinery. With animal viruses that infect animal cells (much larger than bacteria), the virus either injects genetic material OR gets into the cell whole before it begins to unleash its pathogenic effects


What type of virus invades bacteria?

A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It injects its genetic material into the bacterial cell, taking over the cell's machinery to produce new phages.


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.


How does a virus sustain life in its host?

First things first a virus is not living. The virus injects its Genetic material (G.M. for short) and and makes the bacteria make more viruses.


What are the four steps an active virus takes to reproduce itself in a bacterial cell?

Attachment: The virus attaches to the surface of the bacterial cell. Entry: The virus injects its genetic material into the bacterial cell. Replication: The viral genetic material replicates using the host's cellular machinery. Release: The newly formed virus particles are released from the bacterial cell to infect other cells.
