B)carbohydrate receptors in the phage tail attach to specific receptors on the bacterial cell wall
C)protein fibers in the phage tail attach to specific receptors on the bacterial cell wall
D)phage DNA exits the protein coat and attaches to receptors on the bacterium
2

In phage replication

B)the whole phage particle enters the cell and the protein outer coat is removed
C)multiple phage particles enter the same host bacterial cell at the same time
D)only the phage protein enters the bacterial cell

2 = attachment
3 = transcription/replication
4 = release
5 = penetration

B)False
5
