8. When lambda phage infects E. coli about 50% of the time it enters the lytic pathway and lysis the cells and about 50% of the time it enters the lysogenic pathway and integrates into the bacterial host cell's chromosome. What do you predict will happen to the following lambda phage? Note you should use numbers like 50%, 100% and 0%. Example: When wild type lambda phage infects E. coli about 50% of the phage enter the lytic cycle and lyse the cells and 50% enter the lysogenic pathway and integrate into the bacterial chromosome. a) A mutant with and inactivated N gene. b) A mutant with and inactivated C1 gene. c) A mutant with an inactivated nutL site. d) A mutant with an inactivated cro gene. e. A mutant with an inactivated OR1 f. A mutant with an inactivated CII gene 8.
