If Generalized Transduction Is Underway,packaging a Piece of DNA from an Infected

question 53

Multiple Choice

If generalized transduction is underway,packaging a piece of DNA from an infected bacterial cell into a bacteriophage protein coat,what is the likely outcome?

• A)Lysis of a newly-infected cell as the transducing bacteriophage infects it and multiplies.
• B)The virus particle formed in the transduction process isn't able to correctly infect a new bacterial cell.
• C)A second bacterial cell infected by that transducing bacteriophage will acquire new DNA,carried by the phage from the original infected cell.
• D)The infected bacterial cell will recover and survive,as the packaging of non-bacteriophage DNA into the protein coat produces nonfunctional virus particles.
