Question

The yellow ring inside the bacterial cell represents the bacterial DNA. Why does this structure

disappear by step 3 of the lytic cycle?

Answer 1

Explanation The bacterial DNA structure will disappear because of ; The usage of the ribosomes of the bacterial cell by the nucleic acid injected by the virus.

The lytic cycle which is one of the cycles of viral reproduction is the cycle which leads to the breakup of the DNA of the cell ( i.e. destruction of the host cell and its membrane).

Therefore the yellow ring inside the bacterial cell will disappear by step 3 after which the nucleic acid is injected into the host cell by the virus .

Hence we can conclude that the bacterial DNA structure will disappear because of the usage of the ribosomes by the nucleic acid from the virus
