What happens during the lysogenic cycle of a viral infection

The Virus hides in the Hosts Cells DNA

What is the process of adding foreign DNA to a bacterial cell called

The process of adding foreign DNA to a bacterial cell is called Bacterial Transformation. It is a technique used very frequently in molecular biology labs.Ê

The ability of viruses to hide in the host's DNA.

The fact that viruses can hide very well inside your dna.

How are viruses spread from cell to cell

New viruses are released after the lytic cycle. ~Gradpoint/Novanet

What characterizes speciation in new areas such as a recently formed island

Just off Iceland in 1963, a brand new island formed, Surtsey, and the arrival of new life on this volcanic land has been well documented.

On the more general front, when a new population arrives on a land, then the main source of genetic information is restricted to those few individuals.

So the arrival of new varieties or the development of a new species is a normal circumstance.

Had those same individuals arrived on a land where many of their species already existed, then their diversity, if any, would be swamped by the existing population.

Indeed, if the new arrivals were different from the existing population, then they may well be shunned or isolated.

Once these populations adapt to the environment, however, speciation rapidly occurs.

A change in one nucleotide produces a different form of hemoglobin in some people which condition results from this change
