Lysogeny is a process in which a bacteriophage (virus that infects bacteria) integrates its DNA into the host bacterium's DNA and remains dormant without causing cell lysis. The integrated viral DNA is known as a prophage and can be passed on to daughter cells through cell division. Under certain conditions, the prophage can become active and enter the lytic cycle to produce new viral particles.
