(a) Viral capacity

(b) Tight head capacity

(c) Head full capacity

(d) Virulent capacity

This question was addressed to me during an online exam.

Query is from Gene Mapping in Bacteria by Transduction in section Genomics : The Mapping and Sequencing of Genomes of Cytogenetics

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) Head full capacity

To elaborate: The viral head has a specific capacity to load Nucleic acid. This capacity can be satisfied by only viral genome, a combination of viral and bacterial genome or only bacterial genome. This is called head full capacity.
