Which of the following statements about bacteriophage is false?
A)Bacteriophages do not have a viral envelope.
B)A temperate phage can have its DNA integrated into the host chromosome as a prophage.
C)Ultraviolet radiation can cause induction.
D)A prophage is replicated with the bacterial chromosome and passed to the two new daughter cells.
E)Late genes are only expressed during the lysogenic cycle.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Late genes are expressed during the lytic cycle, not the lysogenic cycle. During the lysogenic cycle, the prophage is integrated into the host chromosome and remains dormant, and only genes necessary for maintenance of the prophage are expressed. Late genes are typically expressed during the final stage of the lytic cycle, when the virions are assembled and released from the host cell.
