Question

"bacteriophages, like other viruses, consist primarily of a protein coat and packaged dna. describe the function of one critical enzyme in bacterial cells that is necessary for replication bacteriophage dna."

Answer 1

Bacterial enzymes required for the bacteriophage replication include DNA gyrases and DNA topoisomerases.

Step-by-step explanation:

In bacteriophages, DNA replication requires both phage and host replication proteins. It is for that reason that bacteriophages are considered as model organisms to understand DNA replication in prokaryotes.

Answer 2

DNA helicase unwinds its two strands and makes a replication fork. Primase puts down a short RNA strand complementary to a short sequence of DNA being replicated to initiate a new strand of DNA. DNA polymerase elongates the new strand of DNA, building a new anti-parallel strand.

Hope so, this answer will help you............
