Detailed explanation-1: -The lysogenic cycle: The phage infects a bacterium and inserts its DNA into the bacterial chromosome, allowing the phage DNA (now called a prophage) to be copied and passed on along with the cell’s own DNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -The lysogenic cycle is a method by which a virus can replicate its DNA using a host cell. Typically, viruses can undergo two types of DNA replication: the lysogenic cycle or the lytic cycle. In the lysogenic cycle, the DNA is only replicated, not translated into proteins.
Detailed explanation-3: -The prophage takes an antibiotic resistance gene with it and is packaged with the newly synthesized viral DNA. Lysogenic viral DNA which has integrated into the host genome is referred to as. a prophage.
Detailed explanation-4: -The lysogenic cycle, or non-virulent infection, involves the virus assimilating its genome with the host cell’s genome to achieve replication without killing the host.
Detailed explanation-5: -During the lysogenic cycle, instead of killing the host, the phage genome integrates into the bacterial chromosome and becomes part of the host. The integrated phage genome is called a prophage.
