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
- 6 (retrovirus) - d
