Question

A bacteriophage can be an important part of the genetic engineering process. Determine which ofthe following structures is not part of a bacteriophage.OA. Plasmid ringOB. Protein coatOC. Genetic materialOD. Injection tube

Answer 1

Bacteriophage

A bacteriophage is a specific type of virus that infects only bacteria. Its structure is well defined, as we can see below:

By analyzing the exercise, we can say that the plasmid ring is not present in the virus. The plasmid is a DNA molecule found only in bacteria.

So the answer is "OA. Plasmid ring".
