Question

A loss-of-function mutation occurs in one of the late genes in a lytic bacteriophage. Which change is least likely? The viral particles fail to assemble. The viral genome is not replicated. The host genes continue to be expressed. New viral capsid proteins are not produced. Proteins that are produced fail to lyse the host cell.
