At what stage of the lysogenic cycle would a prophage appear?

A) Penetration
B) Integration
C) Attachment
D) Replication
E) Assembly

Prophage

The latent form of a bacteriophage genome that is integrated into the chromosome of a bacterial host, replicating along with the host cell's DNA.

Lysogenic Cycle

A phase in the life cycle of some viruses in which the viral DNA integrates into the host genome and replicates without causing immediate destruction of the host cell.

Integration

The process of summing (adding and subtracting) incoming neural signals.

  • Explain the lytic and lysogenic cycles in viral replication.
