Question

Arrange the steps of life cycle of phage T4 in correct sequence. A. Lysis of the host cell
B. Injection of phage DNA
C. Synthesis and assembly of phage components
D. Adsorption of the phage
E. Degradation of host DNA
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. \(E, A, D, B, C\)
• B. \(A, D, B, C, E\)
• C. \(D, B, C, E, A\)
• D. \(D, B, E, C, A\)

Hint:

Remember the lytic cycle sequence: \[ \text{Attachment} \rightarrow \text{Penetration} \rightarrow \text{Biosynthesis} \rightarrow \text{Assembly} \rightarrow \text{Lysis} \]
• T4 phage infects E.coli
• Lytic cycle results in destruction of host cell

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D
