Choose the correct options w.r.t phagic reproduction
Open in App
Solution
The correct options are
B Shown by HIV
C Nucleic acid host cell
Bacteriophage is also called phage. Phages are the viruses which infect bacteria. Just like the bacteriophage, HIV shows a similar type of reproduction. Steps occur during the phage reproduction are as follows as
Attachment The phage attaches to the surface of the host. Penetration The viral DNA enters inside the host cell and viral coat (envelope) remain outside the host cell. Biosynthesis Viral DNA incorporates into the host cell DNA and this process is called prophage formation. Phage DNA replicates and phage proteins are formed Maturation New phage particles are assembled Lysis The cell lysis and releasing the newly formed phage.
So, the correct answer is 'Option B & D'.
