The correct sequence of events during bacteriophage infection of a bacterial cell is
- landing $\rightarrow$ attachment $\rightarrow$ tail contraction $\rightarrow$ penetration and unplugging $\rightarrow$ DNA ejection
- attachment $\rightarrow$ landing $\rightarrow$ penetration and unplugging $\rightarrow$ tail contraction $\rightarrow$ DNA ejection
- landing $\rightarrow$ tail contraction $\rightarrow$ attachment $\rightarrow$ DNA ejection $\rightarrow$ penetration and unplugging
- attachment $\rightarrow$ tail contraction $\rightarrow$ landing $\rightarrow$ penetration and unplugging $\rightarrow$ DNA ejection
