A bacterium is infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage composed of the T2 phage protein coat and T4 phage DNA. The progeny phages released from this infected cell would have A. T4 protein and T2 DNA. B. T2 protein and T2 DNA. C. T4 protein and T4 DNA. D. a mixture of the DNA and proteins of both phages E. T2 protein and T4 DNA.Explanation / Answer
ANSWER :
C , T4 protein and T4 DNA
Because , the virus or phage doesnot have its own machinery to synthesize its products and it depends on bacterial machinery , for that the phage DNA gets integrated into the bacterial DNA and same is replicated along with bacterial DNA then by transcription products are synthesized. As infected phage has T4 DNA , only that respective proteins will be made with irrespective of type of proein coat. so the progeny cells have T4 PROTEIN AND T4 DNA.
