Suppose you had a bacteriophage λ in which the gene encoding the cro protein had been mutated, so that it had an unusually high affinity for pL - in this phage the first promoter repressed by cro would be pL, not pRM. What effect, if any, would this mutation, and the consequent rapid repression of transcription from pL, have on the outcome of a cell being infected by this mutant bacteriophage? Explain why you would predict that outcome of an infection by this mutant phage.

Viral Replication

The virus is acellular and considered non-living outside the host cell. The replication of the virus occurs only inside the living cells. Only a few genes are present in the smallest virus, whereas many genes are present in the largest virus. These genes encode specific viral proteins.
