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.
What is lysogenic conversion?
Lysogenic conversion occurs when a bacteriophage integrates its DNA into the host bacterium's genome during the lysogenic cycle. This can lead to the insertion of new genetic material that may alter the phenotype of the host bacterium, such as providing new traits or making the bacterium pathogenic.
Which events occurs in the lytic cycle of bacteriophage T4 infection but not in the lysogenic cycle?
In the lytic cycle of bacteriophage T4 infection, the viral DNA takes control of the host cell machinery to replicate and assemble new viruses, leading to cell lysis and release of viral particles. This process does not involve integration of the viral DNA into the host genome, which is a key characteristic of the lysogenic cycle.
A virus that infects a bacteria is known as a?
The type of virus that infects a bacteria is called a bacteriophage. An example of such a bacteriophage is the T3 bacteriophage.
What statements about lysogenic conversion is true?
Lysogenic conversion occurs when a bacteriophage (virus that infects bacteria) introduces new genetic material into a bacterium, resulting in changes to the bacterium's properties or characteristics. This can include new toxin production, altered resistance to antibiotics, or enhanced virulence. The inserted genetic material becomes part of the bacterium's genome and is passed on to subsequent generations through cell division.
Is mumps disease a bacteriophage?
it goes through the lysogenic cycle.
How does a bacteriophage enter a bacterial?
Through a lysogenic or lytic infection
Why did Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase chose bacteriophage as their virus?
Because it infects bacteria and uses it as a factory to replicate and create more bacteriophage. T2 Bacteriophage undergoes lytic life cycle and NOT lysogenic life cycle
Which bacteriophage lifestyles involves continuous production of new bacteriophage again and again without stopping causing the nearly immediate death of each new host?
Sounds like you are describing the lysogenic cycle.
What do you call a bacteriophage when it is in a lysogenic cycle?
Phages that replicate only via the lytic cycle are known as virulent phages while phages that replicate using both lytic and lysogenic cycles are known as temperate phages.
What is the phage DNA that is integrated into a host cell's chromosome is called a?

Is a virus that infects bacteria called bacteriophage?
bacteriophage
What is the difference between a bacteriaiophage and a prophage?
A bacteriophage is a completely assembled virus capable of landing on a bacterium and injecting it's genetic material in lysis, or a lysogenic attack. A provirus is a virus that has incorporated it's genetic material into the genetic material of the host for continual replication, thus, " before " the phage. This is the lysogenic phase of viral attack.
HOW DOES A lysogenic infection help virus spread?
I don't know if this is what you are lookding for but here is what happens with a bacteriophage (a virus that infects bacteria) In a lysogenic infection the bactierophage DNA will insert itself into the bacterial chromosome and may replicate with the bacterium for many generations. (inactive) The bacteriohpage DNA can then exit the bacterial chromosome. If it does this then it can enter the LYTIC cycle.
A virus that infects a bacteria is known as a?
The type of virus that infects a bacteria is called a bacteriophage. An example of such a bacteriophage is the T3 bacteriophage.
