    T series bacteriophage possess complex tail structure is

    A)  \[{{T}_{1}}\]                                     

    B)  \[{{T}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[{{T}_{3}}\]                                     

    D)  \[{{T}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    T4 bacteriophage have a complex structure consisting of an icosahedral head bound to a helical tail, which may have a hexagonal base plate with protrucding protein tail fibres. This tail structure acts like a molecular syringe attaching to the bacterial host and then injecting the viral genome into the cell.
