Answer 1

Sure! Here are the matches between Column A and Column B:

1. bacteriophage: **b. a virus that infects bacteria**
2. capsid: **e. the protein coat that surrounds a virus**
3. lysogenic infection: **a. 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**
4. lytic infection: **d. a type of infection in which a virus immediately starts replicating in the host cell**
5. prophage: **c. a piece of virus DNA that becomes a part of a bacterium's genome**
6. retrovirus: **f. 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**
