Which of the following best defines a virulent phage in the context of organic chemistry?
A
A phage that immediately lyses the host cell upon infection
B
A phage that remains dormant within the host cell
C
A phage that integrates its DNA into the host genome
D
A phage that transfers genetic material between bacteria
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context: In organic chemistry, a virulent phage is a type of bacteriophage that infects bacteria.
Identify the characteristics of a virulent phage: It is known for its lytic cycle, where it takes over the host cell's machinery to replicate its own genetic material.
Recognize the outcome of infection by a virulent phage: The host cell is eventually lysed, or broken open, to release new phage particles.
Differentiate from other phage types: Unlike temperate phages, virulent phages do not integrate their DNA into the host genome or remain dormant.
Conclude with the definition: A virulent phage is best defined as one that immediately lyses the host cell upon infection, aligning with the lytic cycle description.
