Chapter 13, Problem 1VI
Summary Introduction
To label:
The replication steps of the bacteriophages.
Introduction:
The viruses that invade the bacterial cell are termed as bacteriophages. The most common known bacteriophages are T4 bacteriophages. These bacteriophages have a complex icosahedral head that contains the genetic material and tail-fiber like a hypodermic needle, through which they infect the bacteria with their genome.
