Bacteriophages are a specific type of viruses that infect bacteria and reproduces post entry into the host.
Explanation:
- Phages or bacteriophages are viruses that specifically replicate and infect archaea and bacteria.
- Outside the host, these viruses act as non-living objects but when they enter the host, they begin a lysogenic cycle through which the bacterial host cells get destroyed when repeated virions are created inside it.
- Once the host cell breaks apart the virions are released into the atmosphere and can infect new hosts upon contact.
