Question

Question 7 Please match the term to the correct definition Column A bacteriophage capsid lysogenic infection lytic infection prophage retrovirus Column B a a type of infection in which a virus immediately starts replicating in the host cell b a virus that infects bacteria 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 the protein coat that surrounds a virus a piece of virus DNA that becomes a part of a bacterium's genome- until activated to produce new bacteriophages virus thatupon infection of a host makes a DNA of its RNA and inserts that piece of DNA into the genome

Answer 1

Here are the terms from Column A matched to their correct definitions in Column B:

1. **bacteriophage** - b a virus that infects bacteria
2. **capsid** - the protein coat that surrounds a virus
3. **lysogenic infection** - d 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** - a 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** - f virus that upon infection of a host makes a DNA copy of its RNA and inserts that piece of DNA into the genome

So, the pairs are:
- bacteriophage - b
- capsid - (not explicitly a match in your original list; typically this is not matched with any definition within your provided options)
- lysogenic infection - d
- lytic infection - a
- prophage - e
- retrovirus - f
