Question

A bacteriophage can be an important part of the genetic engineering process. Determine which of the following structures is not part of a bacteriophage.

A. Injection tube
B. Plasmid ring
C. Genetic material
D. Protein coat

Answer 1

The plasmid ring is not part of a bacteriophage.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of a bacteriophage, the structure that is not part of a bacteriophage is B. Plasmid ring. A bacteriophage consists of a protein coat (capsid), genetic material (DNA or RNA), and an injection tube. The plasmid is a small ring of DNA found in bacteria, but it is not a part of the structure of a bacteriophage.
