Answer:

When an E.coli cell is infected by multiple phages,they will take either lytic or lysogenic pathway.

Explanation:

When lambda phage bacteriophage infects an E.coli,it can either undergo lytic cell growth and lyse the host cell or enter lysogenic pathway.

The operator region of lac operon in E.coli contain single repressor binding site whereas the lambda operators O_{L} and O_{R}  each contains 3 repressor binding sites (O_{L_1} ,    O_{L_2},O_{L_3} and O_{R_1},O_{R_2},O_{R_3})  that are differently occupied under different conditions.

The differential affinity of lambda repressor for the three binding sites in these operators play an important role in the maintenance of lysogenic state of lambda prophage in E.coli.

The lytic development occurs in cells infected with lambda phage that carry  C_1 gene.

In contrast,lysogeny will occur in bacteria that infected with lambda phage that harbor a deletion of Cro gene.

Cathy hypothesized that corn would not grow in mud. To test this hypothesis, she took corn kernels and placed 5 in mud, 3 in soi
Softa [21]
The seeds she planted in the mud grew quicker because the mud is holding nutrition for the corn. The soil is a good guess to make, but the mud is more dense and moist. The water wouldn't have had more nutrients than the mud, just because the mud holds breakdown matter and other things from other plants.
