What is viral DNA incorporated in bacterial DNA called?
The introduction of viral DNA into the host genetic structure is called lysogeny. And this is lysogenic cycle.
What type of infections pathway is associated with a prophage or provirus?
lysogenic infection
What is the fate of the prophage during the lysogenic stage?
it is packaged into viral proteins
What is lysogenic conversion?
When viral DNA enters into an inactive prophage state in a cell
What is the phage DNA that is integrated into a host cell's chromosome is called a?
Phage DNA that is integrated into a host's cell chromosome is a bacteriophage. They behave as lytic or lysogenic. Lytic breaks open the host after replication, , lysogenic does not destroy the host.

Can a prophage pop out of a chromosome?
yes it can pop out of the chromosomes
What is a prophage made of?
A prophage is made up of proteins that replicate a virus within a cellular structure. The virus does not disrupt the cellular structure of the bacteria, and waits for the lytic cycle to begin so it can replicate.
What type of viral infection includes the formation of a prophage?
Parhogen
What type of phage enters an inactive prophage stage?
viruses
What type of infections pathway is associated with a prophage or provirus?
lysogenic infection
What does pi209 mean?
prophage pi2 protein 09; - == protein-coding
What is the fate of the prophage during the lysogenic stage?
it is packaged into viral proteins
What is lysogenic conversion?
When viral DNA enters into an inactive prophage state in a cell
What are temperate phages?
A phage that can enter into lysogeny with its host. A phage that can become a prophage.
What is the phage DNA that is integrated into a host cell's chromosome is called a?
Phage DNA that is integrated into a host's cell chromosome is a bacteriophage. They behave as lytic or lysogenic. Lytic breaks open the host after replication, , lysogenic does not destroy the host.
What is a prophage gene?
A prophage gene is a gene of a bacteriophage (virus that targets bacteria) that is inserted and integrated into the circular bacterial DNA chromosome or plasmid. Bacteriophages reproduce by inserting their genome into that of a bacterium and thus getting their genes read and viral proteins produced.
