The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Virus**: The question asks about Coliphage T2, which is a type of bacteriophage that specifically infects E. coli bacteria. 2. **Understand the Structure**: Coliphage T2 has a complex structure that includes a proteinaceous head, a collar, and a tail. The head contains the viral genetic material. 3. **Determine the Genetic Material**: The genetic material enclosed within the capsid of Coliphage T2 is crucial for its classification. It is important to identify whether it is DNA or RNA and whether it is single-stranded or double-stranded. 4. **Analyze the Genetic Material**: Upon examination, it is established that Coliphage T2 contains linear double-stranded DNA as its genetic material. 5. **Select the Correct Option**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question is that Coliphage T2 has double-stranded DNA. **Final Answer**: Coliphage T2 has double-stranded DNA. ---
