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.

When the bacteriophage DNA becomes part of the bacterial chromosome?
During phage infection into bacteria, it penetrates phage DNA into bacterium,which will be integrated in to the bacterial genome (chromosome) to replicate and synthesize phage molecules.
What is temperate phage superinfection immunity?
c. Repression of the phage genome - A phage coded protein, called a repressor, is made which binds to a particular site on the phage DNA, called the operator, and shuts off transcription of most phage genes EXCEPT the repressor gene. The result is a stable repressed phage genome which is integrated into the host chromosome. Each temperate phage will only repress its own DNA and not that from other phage, so that repression is very specific (immunity to superinfection with the same phage).Reference: http://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/mayer/phage.htm
What kind of cell does a phage infect?
Vidiian cells
Generalized transduction differs from specialized transduction in that generalized transduction?
GENERALIZED TRANSDUCTION- Is the type of transduction in which a fragment of DNA from the degraded chromosome of an infected bacteria cell is accidentally incorporated into a new phage particle during viral replication and thereby transfered to another bacterial cell. specialized- is the type in which the bacterial DNA transduced is limited to one or a few genes lying adjacent to a pro-phage that are accidentally included when the phage is excised from the bacterial chromosome.
What is SDS phage?
there is nothing like SDS phage but... 1. SDS is a well know detergent used to denature proteins before electrophoresis called SDSPAGE. 2. phage (bacteriophage) is a virus that infects the bacteria which contains eother DNA or RNA. SDS PAGE can be used to determine the phage proteins which u can call SDSPAGE of phage.

The viral reproductive cycle in which a phage injects its DNA into a host cell and the DNA is inserted into the host cells chromosome is called the?
motor cycle

The viral reproductive cycle in which a phage injects its DNA into a host cell and the DNA is inserted into the host cells chromosome is called the what cycle?
Lytic :D -Gotta help out my fellow Plato users.

What are phage vectors?
"Vector" is an agent that can carry a DNA fragment into a host cell. If it is used for reproducing the DNA fragment, it is called a "cloning vector". If it is used for expressing certain gene in the DNA fragment, it is called an "expression vector".Commonly used vectors include plasmid, Lambda phage, cosmid and yeast artificial chromosome (YAC).
Phage typing is based on the fact that?
Bacterial viruses attack specific cells
When a phage attaches to a bacterium what does the phage inject and what stays attached to the cell?
The part that remains outside is called the capsid or protein coat.
