In the Lysogenic cycle the DNA of the bacteriophage__________________?
Correct answer: A. Joins the bacterial chromosomes
- A. Joins the bacterial chromosomes
- B. Attaches to the inner surface of the host membrane
- C. Is immediately degraded when enters the host
- D. Goes directly to host ribosomes for translation
Explanation
In the lysogenic cycle, bacteriophage DNA becomes integrated into the bacterial chromosome and is replicated with the host DNA as a prophage. Students may choose the ribosome option because viral genes are eventually expressed, but integration occurs before translation.
