The Sequence of Genes in Each T4 Virus Within a Population

question 17

Multiple Choice

The sequence of genes in each T4 virus within a population is the same but starts with a different gene at the 5' end.If each of these linear pieces is circularized,the gene sequences would be identical.The T4 DNA,therefore,is described as being

• A)two fold rotationally symmetrical.
• B)a linear repeat.
• C)circularly permuted.
• D)linearly palindromic.
