Bacteriophages use different mechanisms for host cell infection and viral replication. During the lytic replication pathway, bacteriophages infect the host bacterial cells and immediately build new virions. During which of the key steps is the genome packed into the capsid and phage structures put together?ANSWERReleaseReplicationPenetrationAssembly
Question
Bacteriophages use different mechanisms for host cell infection and viral replication. During the lytic replication pathway, bacteriophages infect the host bacterial cells and immediately build new virions.
