Crystallize infectious particle... Wendell Sanley
main shapes of capsids: rod-shaped, polyhedral, T4 shape
Most complex capsids found among viruses are: bactereophages
Isolated viruses are merely... packaged sets of genes in transit from one cell to another
Virus ability a limited range of host is known as... Host Range
Viral nucleic acids can be made from: enzymes, ribosomes, tRNA, amino acids, ATP etc.

If the phage is replicated without killing the host it is known as... Lysogenic Cycle
Phages marked as lambda, depicting both modes of reproduction are known as: Temperate Phages
Switch over from lysogenic to lytic cycle is triggered by... environmental signal, radiation, or chemicals
