Answer:

Bacteriophage is a virus that infects the bacteria.

Explanation:

Bacteriophages are viruses that can infect the bacteria. They have a hexagonal head and a tail. The head consists of viral DNA. The bacteriophage sits on the bacterial cell and injects the genetic material through its tail into the bacterial body. This process is called transduction. Inside the bacteria, the viral genome replicates and produces new viruses. After some time the lysogenic enzyme present in the virus breaks the bacterial wall and all the viruses emerge out. This ultimately causes the death of the bacteria and newly formed viruses again to go for a search of new bacteria.

In the process of diffusion, when sugar is mixed with water, equilibrium would be reached
Sholpan [36]
The dissolved sugar molecules is distributed evenly all over the solution. 
The equilibrium is reached through diffusion. Diffusion is the net movement of molecules and atoms from a high concentration to area of lower concentration. This is considered as the result of the movement of molecules. Diffusion is driven by a gradient until the molecules are distributed randomly and uniformly all throughout the solution. This can be manifested by perfume sprayed in the air, dye dropped in a water. The distinguishing features of diffusion is that particle move randomly and in uniform pattern.

I agree with the other one “The sperm whale has a diploid complement of 2n=42 and the killer whale a complement of 2n=44. These two species, though different in chromosome number, have karyotypes which have no t group chromosomes and more m group chromosomes than the typical whale karyotype.”
