Answer:
C. causes cell lysis
Explanation:
The slow release of the bacteriophage progeny from a bacterial host cell causes bacterial cell lysis and further kills the host cell which is the bacteria, this results to the liberation of progeny viruses which then infect new bacterial cells.
Only a type of bacteriophage called the filamentous bacteriophage reproduces without killing the bacterial host cell. The filamentous phages infect majorly gram negative bacteria.
B. specific to a substrate
Answer:
Food waste
Explanation:
Food waste is an organic compound, unlike the other choices. Organic compounds are biodegradable because living organisms, such as decomposers, have evolved mechanisms of breaking down these large carbon-based compounds/polymers into smaller molecules for energy. Food waste is therefore easily recycled into the environment.
The others do not have naturally occurring organisms to break them down or reduce them. They would, therefore, accumulate in the environment. This is exactly what is happening to plastc pollution. Accumulation of plastic in the environment is due to fact that they are not broken down into simpler molecules by any naturally occurring bacteria or organisms in the environment.
There should be options for this question. I manged to find them elsewhere. They are:
A) the period during which tremendous growth occurs and the organs continue to develop and become functional
B) the period during which the umbilical cord develops
C) the period during which the major organs and structures of the organism first develop
D) the period during which the zygote moves down to the uterus and begins to implant in the lining
The correct answer is C. The embryonic period is the period during which the major organs and structures of the organism first develop. The embryonic period lasts from implantation of the egg in the uterus until about 8 weeks from the time of conception. It is the second major stage of prenatal development, prior to embryonic is the germinal stage and lastly is the fetal stage.
