Which of the following is true about the early phase of T7 infection of bacteria?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the early phase of T7 infection of bacteria, the phage-encoded polymerase transcribes the class I genes first. These genes are involved in controlling the transcription of the later-expressed genes in the lytic cycle. Class II genes are transcribed later and encode enzymes needed for DNA replication, while class III genes are involved in the production of the structural proteins needed for virion assembly. Class II and III genes are transcribed by the phage-encoded RNA polymerase, while class I genes are transcribed by the host bacterial RNA polymerase.
