What is the phage DNA that is integrated into a host cell's chromosome is called a?
Phage DNA that is integrated into a host's cell chromosome is a bacteriophage. They behave as lytic or lysogenic. Lytic breaks open the host after replication, , lysogenic does not destroy the host.
Prophage occurs when?
A prophage occurs when a bacteriophage (a virus that infects bacteria) integrates its genetic material into the host bacterium's chromosome. This integrated viral DNA, called a prophage, can remain dormant and replicate along with the host's DNA during cell division. Under certain conditions, the prophage can become activated, excising itself from the bacterial chromosome and entering the lytic cycle, leading to the production of new viral particles and eventual lysis of the bacterial cell.
What is a prophage gene?
A prophage gene is a gene of a bacteriophage (virus that targets bacteria) that is inserted and integrated into the circular bacterial DNA chromosome or plasmid. Bacteriophages reproduce by inserting their genome into that of a bacterium and thus getting their genes read and viral proteins produced.
What is the fate of the prophage during the lysogenic stage?
During the lysogenic stage, the prophage inserts its DNA into the host bacterium's chromosome and replicates along with the host DNA. It is passed down to daughter cells during replication, ensuring its persistence within the host genome. The prophage remains dormant until triggered to enter the lytic cycle by external factors.
When the bacteriophage DNA becomes part of the bacterial chromosome?
When bacteriophage DNA becomes integrated into the bacterial chromosome, it is known as lysogeny. The integrated phage DNA is called a prophage. During lysogeny, the bacteriophage DNA remains dormant, replicating along with the bacterial chromosome. Under certain conditions, such as stress, the prophage can become activated and enter the lytic cycle, leading to viral replication and cell lysis.
What is viral DNA incorporated in bacterial DNA called?
Viral DNA incorporated in bacterial DNA is called a prophage.
Viral DNA inserts itself into the bacterial chromosome during?
the process of lysogeny. This occurs when the viral DNA integrates into the bacterial chromosome, becoming a prophage. The integrated viral DNA replicates along with the bacterial DNA until conditions favor the virus to become active and enter the lytic cycle.
Does prophage replicate along with its host?
Yes, a prophage replicates along with its host's DNA during the lysogenic cycle of a bacteriophage. When a bacteriophage infects a bacterial cell, it can integrate its genetic material into the host's genome, forming a prophage. As the host cell divides and replicates its DNA, the prophage is also copied and passed on to the daughter cells. This allows the viral genetic material to persist in the bacterial population without causing immediate lysis.
What type of phage enters an inactive prophage stage?
A temperate phage is a type of phage that can enter an inactive prophage stage by integrating its DNA into the host cell's genome. In this stage, the prophage replicates along with the host cell's DNA and can be passed on to daughter cells during cell division.
What type of viral infection includes the formation of a prophage?
Parhogen
What is a prophage made of?
A prophage is made up of proteins that replicate a virus within a cellular structure. The virus does not disrupt the cellular structure of the bacteria, and waits for the lytic cycle to begin so it can replicate.
What A bacteriophage injects its DNA into an E. coli cell which gets integrated into the bacterial chromosome forming a prophage. What kind of life cycle the bacteriophage is undergoing?
The bacteriophage is undergoing a lysogenic life cycle. In this process, the phage DNA integrates into the bacterial chromosome, forming a prophage, which can remain dormant and replicate along with the host cell's DNA during cell division. This allows the viral genetic material to be passed on to daughter cells without causing immediate lysis of the bacteria. The lysogenic cycle can eventually switch to the lytic cycle under certain conditions, leading to the production of new phage particles and cell lysis.
