Viernum said, âBlack mambas are one of the fastest species of snakes, reaching slithering speed up to 12 mph [19 kph].â This is undoubtedly fast, but still slower than the myths of them outrunning horses would suggest. Over longer distances, they average about 7 mph (11 kph).
Transcript. DR BRENT GILPIN. A bacteriophage, or a phage, is a virus that infects bacteria, so these don't infect human cells âthey are very specialised and only infect bacteria. So every bacteria is being attacked by various viruses which are using those as the host that they replicate in.
In the lytic cycle, bacteriophage will replicate and cause the bacterial cell to burst, or lyse, to release newly assembled phage. After injecting its nucleic acid into a bacterium, a phage will direct degradation of host DNA.
