Detailed explanation-1: -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. Figure 1. Example structure of a bacteriophage.
Detailed explanation-2: -After the virus injects its DNA or RNA into the host bacteria, the genetic material can enter either the lytic cycle or the lysogenic cycle. In the lysogenic cycle, the bacteriophage DNA lies practically dormant. However, whenever the bacteria divides, the DNA of the virus is inadvertently copied.
Detailed explanation-3: -The lysogenic cycle definition is a viral reproductive stage where the virus’s DNA is being replicated using the host cell’s DNA. During lysogenic infection, the virus uses the host to help copy its DNA or genetic information, but it is not producing any proteins.
