    After completing this lab, the student will be able to perform the following objectives:

    1. Define the following: bacteriophage, plaque, and phage typing.
    2. Describe the structure of the bacteriophage coliphage T4.
    3. Describe the lytic life cycle of bacteriophages.
    4. Define viral specificity.
    1. Recognize plaques and state their cause.
    2. Interpret the results of a viral specificity test using Coliphage T4.
