Biology · BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION

हिन्दी

Refer to the structural representation of the bacteriophage in Figure 2.6(b). Which option correctly pairs the morphological region with its accurate biological role or molecular composition?

  1. Head encloses double-stranded DNA; Tail fibres assist in attachment to the bacterial host cell wall
  2. Collar contains peptidoglycan; Tail fibres inject viral protein into host cytoplasm
  3. Sheath contains single-stranded DNA; Collar forms the primary chitin cell wall
  4. Head contains single-stranded RNA; Sheath functions in photosynthetic light absorption

Correct answer · Option 1

Head encloses double-stranded DNA; Tail fibres assist in attachment to the bacterial host cell wall

Explanation

Bacteriophages (bacterial viruses) usually contain double-stranded DNA enclosed within a polyhedral head. The tail fibres are essential specialized structures that recognize and attach to specific receptor sites on the bacterial host cell wall.
