How are the Genes in the Genome of the Bacteriophage

Question

How are the genes in the genome of the bacteriophage T7 arranged in the genome?
A) By when they are expressed during the viral replication cycle.
B) By their function during the viral replication cycle.
C) By the amount of GC bases they contain.
D) By their size, shortest to longest.
E) Both a and b are correct.

Accepted Answer

The genes in the genome of bacteriophage T7 are arranged both by when they are expressed during the viral replication cycle and by their function during the viral replication cycle. This organization allows for efficient expression of genes in a temporal manner that corresponds to the needs of the virus at different stages of its replication cycle.
