What is bacteriphages?
Virus that infects a bacteria cell
Where does a virus replicate its DNA?
A virus replicates its DNA in a cell when it infects the host
When a virus infects a cell what does it produce?
more copies of itself
What is the first event that occurs when a viruse a virus infects a host cell?
the virus attaches to the host cells membrane
How do cells get diseases?
When a virus breaks through a cell wall/ membrane and infects the cytoplasm.
What do you call a virus that infects plants?
A virus that infects plants is called is viroid.
A virus that infects a bacterial cell is called?
Bacteriophage is the name given to a virus that infects bacteria. The name is frequently abbreviated to 'phage'. T4 phage is subject to a wide variety of experiments because it infects E. coli, and E. coli is one of the safer, more abundant and best understood bacteria to study.
What happens when a cell is full of a new virus?
When a cell is full of a new virus, the virus hijacks the cell's machinery to replicate itself. This replication process can eventually lead to the death of the host cell and the release of new virus particles that can then infect other cells in the body.
When a virus infects a bacterium what does the virus inject into the cell?
It's genetic material and some enzymes sometimes which hijack the bacteria into making more viruses.
How do virus breathe?
Viruses do not breathe because they are not living organisms. They are considered particles that need a host cell to replicate and survive. Once a virus infects a host cell, it uses the cell’s machinery to replicate itself.
Is T4 bacteriophage a DNA or RNA virus?
T4 bacteriophage is a DNA virus. It infects bacteria by injecting its DNA into the host cell and hijacking the cell's machinery to replicate its genetic material.
What is the first event that occurred when a virus infects the host cell?
The virus attaches to the host cells membrane.
