The correct answer is: C) A large number of phages are released at a time

Lytic cycle of a bacteriophage is one of the two life cycles of viruses, other being lysogenic. Lytic cycle can be divided in stages:

• Attachment-viruses binds to the receptor on the surface of bacterial cell, usually it uses tail for the attachment

• Entrance-virus injects its genome material (DNA or RNA) into bacteria cell

• Replication and protein synthesis-virus uses mechanism of bacteria to replicate its genome and produce proteins. As a consequence, a huge number of new viruses are formed

• Lysis- viruses express protein for the bacterial lysis (bacterial cell expand and burst) and  hundreds of new phages are released.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with minimum viable population.

Explanation:

The MVP or the minimum viable population refers to the lowest number of individuals or the minimum density of the population of a species that can thrive in a specific region. The term is generally used in the fields of ecology, biology, and conservation biology.  

The minimum viable population refers to the smallest probable size at which the population can prevail without encountering extinction due to demographic or natural disasters, genetic, or environmental stochasticity. Generally, MVP is utilized to signify towards a wild population, however, it can also be utilized for ex-situ conservation.

Part 1: 
The carbon-monoxide, carbon-dioxide, and other harmful gasses are being released into the environment by the factory causing the air to be polluted.

Part 2:
The factory is putting in mechanical work, so the energy coming out is mechanical energy which is being transformed into chemical energy in the form of harmful gases.

Part 3:
This process is a recycling of carbon in the carbon cycle because along with adding carbon-dioxide to the air, it also provides photosynthetic autotrophs with carbon-dioxide which is required for photosynthesis. This will then be turned into oxygen which is used for cellular respiration in animals.
