Two of the Most Important Bacteriophages That Have Played a Role

Question

Two of the most important bacteriophages that have played a role in they study of genetics are:
A) E. coli and T4
B) T4 and TMZ
C) T4 and Lambda
D) Lambda and E. coli
E) Lambda and TMZ

Accepted Answer

T4 and Lambda are two of the most commonly studied bacteriophages in genetics research. T4 is well-known for its role in the discovery of DNA polymerase, while Lambda has been used extensively in the study of gene regulation and genetic recombination. Both phages have been instrumental in the development of molecular biology techniques and our understanding of genetic processes. While E. coli is an important bacterial host for these phages, it is not itself a phage and so is not included as an answer choice. TMZ (Temozolomide) is a chemotherapy drug and not a bacteriophage.
