Which of the following statements are true and which are false regarding general and specialized transduction? T = true and F = false. A) virulent phages via the lytic cycle of infection can cause horizontal gene transfer via specialized transduction. B) prophages via the lytic cycle of infection can cause horizontal gene transfer via specialized transduction. C) when conditions become unfavorable for bacterial cell survival, temperate phages can exit from their "prophage" status and enter into the lytic cycle. D) virulent phages maintain themselves in an inactive state by expressing a repressor protein to silence themselves.

This statement is false because virulent phages only undergo the lytic cycle and do not integrate into the host genome, which is required for specialized transduction. B) Prophages via the lytic cycle of infection can cause horizontal gene transfer via Show more…

Which of the following statements is false? Group of answer choices General transduction is a packaging error during the lytic cycle. Specialized transduction is an excision repair mistake during the lysogenic cycle. The lysogenic cycle does not ever result in lysis of the cell. During the lysogenic cycle the phage DNA can insert into the host chromosome becoming a prophage.

Which of the following statements is false? a. In the lytic cycle, new phages are produced and released into the environment. b. In the lysogenic cycle, phage DNA is incorporated into the host genome. c. An environmental stressor can cause the phage to initiate the lysogenic cycle. d. Cell Iysis only occurs in the lytic cycle.

C) accommodation of the aminoacyl-tRNA in the A site occurs after peptide bond formation. D) the codon mRNA nucleotide sequence is antiparallel to the anticodon tRNA nucleotide sequence.
