Bacteriophages

Question 1

Productive infection

Answer 1

viral infection in which more viral particles are produced

Question 2

Latent State

Answer 2

phage stage where DNA is integrated into the genome of the host

Question 3

lytic phages

Answer 3

bacteriophages that lyse their host

Question 4

virulent phages are also known as

Answer 4

Lytic phages

Question 5

Lytic Phage Infection stages

Answer 5

Attachment, Genome Entry, Synthesis of phage proteins & Genome, Assembly, and Release

Question 6

Temperate Phage

Answer 6

can direct a productive infection that leads to host cell lysis or remain silent in the host as a prophage that replicates along with the host cell genome.

Question 7

Lytic Infection

Answer 7

Viral Infection that has more production of viral particles and lysis in the host cell

Question 8

Lysogenic infection

Answer 8

Temperate phage infection where phage DNA replicates as prophage instead of directing a productive infection

Question 9

Prophage

Answer 9

Phage DNA that has been inserted into the Host’s DNA chromosomes

Question 10

Lysogen

Answer 10

bacterium that carries phage DNA

Question 11

Phage induction

Answer 11

phage DNA is excised from bacterial chromosomal DNA.

Question 12

Consequences of Lysogeny

Answer 12

Immunity to superinfections & Lysogenic conversion

Question 13

Lysogenic Conversion

Answer 13

Change in the properties of a bacterium conferred by a prophage

Question 14

Filamentous Phages

Answer 14

Single-stranded DNA phages that look like long fibers
