Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A loss-of-function mutation in one of the late genes of a lytic bacteriophage primarily affects steps occurring later in the infection cycle, such as assembly of viral particles or lysis of the host cell. Early events, like suppression of host gene expression, are not directly impacted by mutations in late genes.
