Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What type of genetic material do bacteriophages inject into bacterial cells?
Step 1: Understand what a bacteriophage is. A bacteriophage is a virus that infects bacteria.
Step 2: Know that bacteriophages have genetic material. This genetic material can be either DNA or RNA.
Step 3: Identify what type of genetic material most bacteriophages use. Most bacteriophages inject DNA into bacterial cells.
Step 4: Learn what happens after the DNA is injected. The injected DNA can integrate into the bacterial cell's genome, which means it can become part of the bacteria's own genetic material.
