In life cycle of bacteriophage which step occur after attachment of prophage with the receptor site of the bacterial cell wall_____________?
Correct answer: D. Penetration
- A. Absorption
- B. Multiplication
- C. Lysogeny
- D. Penetration
Explanation
After a phage attaches, or adsorbs, to receptors on the bacterial cell wall, it injects its nucleic acid into the host during penetration. Multiplication and lysogeny occur later, so students who choose multiplication are skipping the entry step.
