Chapter 27.2, Problem 1.2RIA
Summary Introduction

The phages make a decision between the lytic and lysogenic cycle through a process. This can be well understood in the case of temperate phage, lambda (λ). The head of this phage is icosahedral in shape, 55 nanometers in dm. This phage possesses a non-contractile tail and a tail fiber (thin). The genome of λ phage is linear and contain cohesive ends.
