hy dear here is ur answer ______
☆ a bacteriophage consist of two main part , head and tail. the head is in the form of bipyramidal hexagonal prism. it consist of proteinaceous membranes enclosing a core of Aural DNA.
☆ it is a virus that infects bacteria.

◆Structure Of Bacteriophage:-
――――――――――――――――――――――
→Bacteriophages, in short, are the viruses that infect bacteria.
●Composition:-There are two main components of a bacteriophage.those are:-
(i)nucleic acid and protein. The bacteriophage carries ribonucleic acid (RNA) or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The bases that make up the genetic material of the bacteriophage are slightly different than those that make up the genetic material of the host bacteria. This prevents the host's replication enzymes from cleaving the genetic material of the bacteriophage.
(ii)The proteins of the bacteriophage are responsible for binding to the host bacteria and transferring the genetic material. The proteins also protect the genetic material from enzymes
●Structure:-If We divide the body of a Bacteriophages we will get 4 parts.those are:-
i)Head: is prism like hexagonal having length 950 A0 and breadth 650 A0,tail is also 950 A0 in length, joined to head by neck and collar, tail is having hollow core of 80 A0 and is surrounded by tail sheath consists of ds DNA.
ii)Neck: is the head tail connector consists of a collar or a disc and several whiskers.
iii)Tail: is the narrow cylindrical part. It has central hollow core or tube through which viral DNA is injected into the host. The core is surrounded by sheath proteins.
iv)Base plate: is the hexagonal plate with tail fibres, usually 6 in number and used for attachment to the host cell wall during infection. Tail fibres can recognize specific receptor sites in the host cell wall.
