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.
