We all know that independent is containing the x and the dependent is the y. Meaning that the y depends on the x.
The complete question is:
a bacterium is infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage composed of the T2 phage protein coat and T4 phage DNA. The new phages produced would have
A) T2 protein and T4 DNA
B) T2 protein and T2 DNA
C) a mixture of DNA and proteins of both phages.
D) T4 protein and T4 DNA
E) T4 protein and T2 DNA
A bacterium infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage will give new phages with the virus' DNA and the type of proteins that this DNA encodes.
A bacteriophage is a virus that attaches itself to a bacteria and uses it to replicate itself. Viruses have two main parts, a protein coat and their DNA inside it.
- The experimentally constructed bacteriophage has one type of protein that makes the coat, the T2. This type of protein will allow the virus to attach and infect the bacteria.
- Once the virus attaches itself to the bacteria, it will introduce its DNA, T4 type, and use the bacteria elements to replicate it and create new phages.
- As a result, the new phages will have T4 DNA, and the proteins that the virus synthesizes will be the same type as the DNA.
In conclusion, The new phages produced would have D) T4 protein and T4 DNA.

Answer:
Release or egress
Explanation:
Virus can reproduce only within a host cell, this cycle of infection begins with the <em>attachment</em>, where the virus attaches to a specific receptor site on the host cell, after this comes the<em> entry,</em> in the case of enveloped virus, the envelope can fuse directly with the cell membrane to enter the cell, they can also enter through endocytosis. After entering the cell the virus initiates a <em>replication and assembly </em>mechanism depending on its genome, finally, the last stage of viral replication is the <em>release or egress </em>of the new virions produced in the host organism, some viruses can be released when the host cell dies, but some can leave infected cells by budding through the membrane without directly killing the cell.
I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
Similar: They are made by proteins and glycoproteins like all the cells are. The also have DNA or RNA to reproduce and they also evolve to adapt.
Difference: They don't use the cell division phase and they are not alive.
