1. if a lambda cl mutant infected e.coli , what a life cycle would be after infection?
2. lambda phage repressor protein control the prophage's lytic genes. true or false. explain your answer
The virus after infecting has two life cycles the lysogeny cycle and the lytic cycle. In the lysogeny cycle, the phase DNA is integrated along with bacterial chromosomes which ultimately forms a part of the host DNA. After this replication of the DNA occurs along with the bacterial chromosomes and becomes progenies. Prophage is formed by the combination of bacterial chromosomes with phase DNA. After treatment of lysogenic bacteria (bacteria carrying prophage) the bacterial chromosomes and prophage can be separated. On the other hand, in the lytic cycle, various phase particles are produced by destroying the host cell. This cycle is also known as the reproductive cycle.
