2. Diagram and describe the life cycle of bacteriophage T4.

3. Each of the sites listed above provides links to other useful web sites. Give the URL and briefly describe one of these linked sites that you investigated and found interesting.


The assignment is due at the start of your lab section, the week we perform Lab Exercise 4. Late papers will not be graded and, therefore, will earn no credit.
