Contrast the size of the single chromosome in bacteriophage and T2 with that of E. coli. How does this relate to the relative size and complexity of phages and bacteria?

Video transcript

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So which of the following is the process in which a bacteriophage infects a wholesale, utilizing the whole own metabolism to create copies of itself. The result in the eventual death of the whole. So we're going to underline this term eventual death because it is the most important part of the question. Well, as it turns out these viruses, these bacteriophages are going to be able to replicate using one of two cycles. The first one is the light so genic cycle And the 2nd 1 is the lyrics cycle. Now, in the Liza genic cycle, the bacteria of age is going to enter this wholesale and it's going to remain dormant and it's going to replicate alongside with the host cell without damaging it. Now, in the lyrics cycle, something like it, it's going to happen except that the virus is going to take over the host metabolism in order to replicate and eventually burst the wholesale killing it and just excellent in it. So it can infect new hosts cells. So this is where harm is being done to a cell. Since the consequence of the infection was the eventual death of the whole cell. This bacteriophage was undergoing the lyrics cycle. And because of this, the correct answer to our question is going to be answer choice. E the latex cycle is a process in which a bacteriophage infects a host, utilizing the host on metabolism to create copies of itself. The result in the eventual death of the host cell. I really hope this helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
