Question 2 Please match the term to the correct definition Column A 1bacteriophage 2 capsid infection prophage 6retrovirus lysogenic infection Column B aa virus that infects bacteria ba type of infection in which a virus immediately starts replicating in the host cell the type of infection in which a virus does not immediately start replicating itself but inserts a piece of DNA ino the host cell's genome which becomes activated at a later date da piece of virus DNA that becomes a part of a bacterium's genome- until activated to produce new bacteriophages e the protein coat that surrounds a virus a virus that , upon infection of a host cell , makes a DNA copy of its RNA and inserts that piece of DNA into the cell's genome

Answer 1

Here's the correct matching of terms from Column A to definitions in Column B:

1. **bacteriophage** - aa. virus that infects bacteria
2. **capsid** - e. the protein coat that surrounds a virus
3. **infection** - ba. type of infection in which a virus immediately starts replicating in the host cell
4. **prophage** - da. piece of virus DNA that becomes a part of a bacterium's genome until activated to produce new bacteriophages
5. **lysogenic infection** - the type of infection in which a virus does not immediately start replicating itself but inserts a piece of DNA into the host cell's genome, which becomes activated at a later date
6. **retrovirus** - e. a virus that, upon infection of a host cell, makes a DNA copy of its RNA and inserts that piece of DNA into the cell's genome

Note that the matching for "retrovirus" is a repeat of the "e" definition, so you would just match it with the appropriate description if asked distinctly.
