Question

Choose all of the following that are correct regarding lysogeny.

A) Allows the animal virus to infect multiple cells without killing the host cell

B) Allows the bacteriophage to infect multiple cells without killing the host cell

C) Involves the bacteriophage inserting its genome into the host cell

D) The bacteriophage immediately starts replicating after entering the host cell

E) The bacteriophage genome can spread through the subsequent generations of bacterial cells as they undergo binary fission

Answer 1

All correct answers regarding lysogeny are:

B) Allows the bacteriophage to infect multiple cells without killing the host cell

Explanation- During the lysogeny instead of killing the host the phage genome integrates into the bacterial host chromosome and becomes part of it

C) Involves the bacteriophage inserting its genome into the host cell.

E) The bacteriophage genome can spread through the subsequent generations of bacterial cells as they undergo binary fission.

Explanation- As bacterial host cell replicates it's chromosome, also replicates the phage's DNA and passes it to the new daughter cells undergoing reproduction by binary fission

Ps- A position rating would be appreciated

Thanks
