Column B
a.the protein coat that surrounds a virus
b.a type of infection in which a virus immediately starts replicating in the host cell
c.a virus that infects bacteria
d.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
e.a piece of virus DNA that becomes a part of a bacterium's genome- until activated to produce new bacteriophages
f.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

Answer 1

Here are the matches between Column A and Column B:

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

Here are the completed matches:

• 1 (bacteriophage) - c
• 2 (capsid) - a
• 3 (lysogenic infection) - f
• 4 (lytic infection) - b
• 5 (prophage) - e
