Question

Describe the replication in bacteriophage.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Bacteriophages, also known as phages, are viruses that infect and replicate only in bacterial cells. ... During a lytic replication cycle, a phage attaches to a susceptible host bacterium, introduces its genome into the host cell cytoplasm, and utilizes the ribosomes of the host to manufacture its proteins.
