Question

Which of the following is false concerning replication of viruses? Certain bacteriophages may insert the phage genome into the host chromosome. If A occurs, the phage genome is referred to as a lytic phage. Chronic infection by a bacteriophage is called lysogeny. Chronic infection with animal viruses is referred to as latency. The production of cholera toxin, botulinum toxin, and diphtheria toxin are examples of lysogcnic conversion. You were diagnosed with a bacterial agent and the doctor gave you an antibiotic that targets a prokaryotic ribosomal subunit because this organism does not have a cell wall. What organism are you most likely to be infected with? Candida albicans Mycobacterium tuberculosis Trichomonas vaginalis Mycoplasma pneumoniae Entamoeba histolyticum What do Bacillus anthrasis, Francisella tularensis. Yersinia pest is, and Coxiella burnetii not have in common. they are select agents. low infectious dose. may be transmitted by aerosol. worked with in a BSL-3 facility. all of the above are things in common.. All of the following are true of structures called spores except? asexual spores involved in fungal reproduction include conidiospores & sporangiospores. sexual spores in fiingal reproduction include ascospores, basidiospores, & zygospores. asexual and sexual spores of fungi and bacterial endospores are propagules (designed for reproduction & spread). some bacteria (actinomycetes) have fungal-like morphology and asexual conidiospores. all of the above are true. Enzymes speed up reactions by raising activation energy. producing heat. reducing entropy. lowering activation energy. A and C

Explanation / Answer

Answer

B. If A occurs, the phage genome is referred to as a lytic phage-False.

If a phage genome is inserted into the bacterial genome , it replicates along with bacterial genome and such viruses are known as prophages. This cycle of viral replcation is known a lysogenic phage.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
