a eight virions b 80 c 6400 d one million 10000 1000 Product

a) eight virions

b) 80

c) 6400

d) one million

10000 1000 Production of bacteriophage 100 5 10 Division of cells 10 20 30 40 50 600 Time (minutes)

Solution

As we can see in the given graph we there are approximately 80-90 no of virions after 40 mins incubation..!! So as one virion affects the new bacteria each virion gets doubles as the bacteria also gets doubles from 40-90 mins hence the virions too... Hence it also gets doubles its initial value.. So the answer is 6400...!!
