NEET2015BotanyBiological ClassificationActual
Which of the following is true regarding the phage lambda, a virus which infects bacteria?
Options
- AIn the lytic cycle, the bacterial host replicates viral DNA, passing it on to daughter cells during binary fis
- BIn the lysogenic cycle, the bacterial host replicates viral DNA, passing it onto daughter cells during binary
- CIn the lytic cycle, viral DNA is integrated into the host genome
- DIn the lysogenic cycle, the host bacterial cell burst, releasing phases
Correct answer
B. In the lysogenic cycle, the bacterial host replicates viral DNA, passing it onto daughter cells during binary
Step-by-step solution
In the lysogenic cycle, the bacterial host replicates phage lambda viral DNA, passing it onto daughter cells the during binary fission.
