Question

What is the basic structure of a bacteriophage?

Answer 1

There are two main components of abacteriophage: 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.
