Bacteriophage have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material, in either circular or linear configuration, as a single- or a double-stranded molecule.
Where is the genetic material in a bacteriophage?
T-phages have a head known as a capsid that contains double stranded DNA as their genetic material. The tail of the bacteriophage includes the tail sheath, base plate and tail fibers, which are made of different proteins.
What is the genetic material of T bacteriophage?
Characteristics of bacteriophages
Like all viruses, phages are simple organisms that consist of a core of genetic material (nucleic acid) surrounded by a protein capsid. The nucleic acid may be either DNA or RNA and may be double-stranded or single-stranded.
