Number of bacteriophages produced in a bacteria is usually
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Higher than number of plasmids
Bacteriophages are the viruses that attack bacteria whereas plasmids are small, single stranded and circular DNA molecules in bacteria that are capable of replicating themselves. When a bacteriophage attacks bacteria, it uses host cell machinery to make its own copies. The cell is lysed and the replicas of virus are generated. Thus, generally the number of bacteriophages produced in a bacteria is more than the number of plasmids.So, the correct answer is 'Higher than number of plasmids'.
