Question

Select the definition of a bacteriophage plaque. O O O O the bacteriophage capsid a bacterial cell producing more bacteriophage a visible region of infection-induced lysis of bacterial cells a bacteriophage colony If a single phage starts a replication cycle that results in 34 viable phage, how many phage can be produ after 3 replication cycles? Number phage

genetics

Answer 1

* bacteriophage means viruses which infect bacteria and these viruses can have leither ysogenic or lytic cycle.

* plaque means any visible infection of viruses on bacteria after undergoing lytic cycle.

so, the defination of bacteriphage plaque is a visible region of infection -induced lysis of bacterial cells.

if single phage produce 34 in replication cycle,

then, no. of phages after 3 replication cycles will be= (34)³   e.g (34)ⁿ n= no. of replication cycles

so, answer will be 39304
