As an experiment, you infect bacteria with an unknown virus to see how the bacteriophage affects the bacteria. After a few days,
you notice that the bacterial population is growing normally and that the cells appear healthy. Assuming that the infection occurred, what can you conclude from your observations?
Bacteriophages, are viruses that affect bacterias that could possibly kill them. Since their discovery
, bacteriophages are widely use to treat various bacterial diseases in people and animals. Like all viruses, bacteriophages are very species-specific with regard to their host and usually only infect a single, bacterial species, or even specific strains within a species. In conclusion, we could infere that the bacteriophage didn't affect the bacteria and died eventually. As stated before a bacteriophage is use to kill/affect bacteria, and since the population still grew normally and cells appeared to be healthy; then we could conclude that the bacteriophage didn't affected the bacteria and eventually died.
