Phage lambda must first attach to the host cell surface and insert bacteriophage DNA by contracting the sheath proteins. Upon entering the host cell, the linear double-stranded phage DNA is circularized to prepare for capsid protein synthesis. Next, the phage replicates the DNA genome and packages the DNA into capsids. Finally, the phage lyses the host cell and progeny phagesare released. A. occurs at random leading to the prevention of some key steps in the viral replication cycle. B. allows host cells to remember infection by copying small sections of viral DNA into RNA. C. destroys the infected cells and halts viral production. D. recognizes viral mRNA and prevents further viral gene expression.

Option C.

Destroy the infected cells and halt viral production

Explanation:

Bacteriophage is a type of virus that infect bacteria and reproduce inside it. There are 6 stages of attack of bacteriophage it is called lytic cycle.

The lyticc cycle refers to the reproductive stages of bacteriophage, it result in the destruction of infected cell

Bacteriophage first attach to the host, then its penetrate inside the host, transcription, biosythesis(the DNA are replicated), maturation (the replicated DNA assembles) and lysis, the newly formed phages are released from the infected cell.

blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium of the heart. as the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs where it is oxygenated.
