In the Case of T-Even Phages, the Burst Size Is

Question

In the case of T-even phages, the burst size is about
A)1 per host cell.
B)5 per host cell.
C)200 per host cell.
D)1000 per host cell.

Accepted Answer

T-even phages have a large burst size, with around 200 phage particles produced per infected host cell. A burst size of 1 or 5 would be too low to account for the spread and virulence of T-even phages, and a burst size of 1000 would be unrealistically high for most phages.
