Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phage-encoded enzymes are produced in a sequential manner and used to customize the host cell for viral production. These enzymes modify the host cell's metabolism and nucleic acid processing to create an environment conducive to phage replication without immediately destroying the host cell.
