The Bacterial Viruses That are Released by a Process Termed

Question

The bacterial viruses that are released by a process termed extrusion are called
A)lysogenic viruses.
B)temperate phages.
C)filamentous phages.
D)lambda viruses.

Accepted Answer

Filamentous phages are released by a process called extrusion, where the host bacterial cell continues to grow and divide while releasing the phages. Lysogenic viruses integrate their genome into the host cell's DNA and replicate with it, while temperate phages can either integrate or replicate as virions. Lambda viruses are an example of a temperate phage.
