Question

which of the following is WRONG (or false):

Group of answer choices

When bacteriophage DNA is inserted into bacterial chromosome, viral genes that code for viral structural proteins are expressed, resulting in making new viruses

acquiring prophage may cause recipient bacteria to make toxins or express genes on the prophage that do not specify viral structural proteins

the choices in this question have to do with the lysogenic life cycle/lysogeny

Prophage may leave the bacterial chromosom

prophage is viral DNA inserted into bacterial chromosome

Answer 1

The false option is : the choices in this question have to do with the lysogenic life cycle/lysogeny

All the options are not related to the lysogenic life cycle. The bacteriophage that produces new viruses leads to the lytic cycle. Only when the prophage is integrated without causing any disruption of the host cell, there is the lysogenic cycle A prophage, that is formed when viral DNA is inserted into bacterial circular chromosome, can leave the bacterial chromosome if induced by any mechanism.
