Bacteriophages

Most bacteriophages contain _____ - stranded ____.

double, DNA,

Bacteriophages are incapable of infecting ________ cells.

eukaryotic

Bacteriophages simply _____ DNA inside of the cell where the rest of the viral structure (i.e. capsid) remains attached outside of the host cell.

injects

The replication process of bacteriophages uses the ____ cycle.

Lytic

____________ is the Lytic cycle with an additional step: DNA gets spliced into the bacteria’s ___________ and the bacteria is left with extra DNA; when bacterial cells ____ they take this DNA with them allowing the virus to be copied; eventually the viral DNA may be spliced ___ and the viral DNA will begin copying and return to the ____ cycle.

Lysogeny, chromosome, divide, out, Lytic

During Lysogeny, the host cell may experience genes that are advantageous to bacteria, but toxic to humans, this is called what?

Lysogenic Conversion

___________ ______ are the type of virus that are able to undergo Lysogeny.

Temperate phages

What is one species that has Lysogenic Conversion capabilities: when the temperate phage genome integrates into the bacterial chromosome, the bacterium is "converted" into a pathogen (toxin).

cholera toxin
