A scientist creates a bacteriophage with the protein coat of the phage T2 and the DNA of phage T4. If this composite phage were allowed to infect a bacteria cell, what type of new phage particles would be produced by the infected cell? A phage with the proteins of phage T2 and the DNA of phage T4. A phage with the proteins and DNA of phage T2. A phage with the proteins and DNA of phage T4. A phage with the proteins of phage T4 and the DNA of phage T2.

A bacterium is infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage composed of the T2 phage protein coat and T4 phage DNA. The new phages produced would have (A) T2 protein and T4 DNA. (C) T2 protein and T2 DNA. (B) T4 protein and T2 DNA. (D) T4 protein and T4 DNA.
Scientists have discovered how to put together a bacteriophage with the protein coat of phage $\mathrm{T} 2$ and the DNA of phage lambda. If this composite phage were allowed to infect a bacterium, the phages produced in the host cell would have ____________________________ (Explain your answer) a the protein of T2 and the DNA of lambda b. the protein of lambda and the DNA of T2 c. the protein and DNA of T2 d. the protein and DNA of lambda
