A lytic virus has infected E. coli. Which of the following would best describe what is happening inside the patient? A) The virus is causing the death of the E. coli B) The virus is not killing any cells in the host C) The virus is incorporating its nucleic acid with that of the E. coli cells D) The virus is slowly killing the E. coli cells.

Which of the following are not matched correctly? A) Virulent virus - lytic cycle B) Temperate virus - non-infecting virus C) Lysogenic virus - genome becomes part of the host genome D) Lytic cycle - kills host cell E) None of the above
Adi S.
When a virus infects a bacterial cell, often new viruses are assembled and released when the host bacterial cell is lysed. If these new viruses go on to infect new bacterial cells, the new host cells may not be lysed. What is the most plausible explanation for this? A) The bacterial cell must be resistant to infection by the virus. B) The virus carries genes that confer resistance to the host bacterial cell. C) The host bacterium couples the viral infection with transformation. D) The virus has entered the genome of the bacterial cell and is in the lysogenic stage. Answer: D

Which of the following is a definitively true statement if an infecting bacteriophage is in the lysogenic cycle? A. The host cell will have a virus incorporated into its genome. B. The cell will benefit because of new genes from the virus that, by definition, benefit the cell. C. The cell will only be minimally damaged as the virus will exit the cell via budding rather than lysis. D. The cell will experience lower fitness because of the parasitic nature of the infecting virus.
