What is viral DNA incorporated in bacterial DNA called?
Viral DNA incorporated in bacterial DNA is called a prophage.
In a lysogenic infection once the DNA of the virus is incorporated into the bacterial DNA the DNA is called a?
In a lysogenic infection, once the DNA of the virus is incorporated into the bacterial DNA, it is called a prophage. This integrated viral DNA can remain dormant within the bacterial genome, replicating along with the host cell's DNA during cell division. Under certain conditions, the prophage can be induced to enter the lytic cycle, leading to the production of new viral particles.
An infection in which DNA of a virus is embedded into a host cell and replicates with host DNA is called what?
This process is called lysogeny, and the host cell is referred to as a lysogenic cell. The integrated viral DNA is known as a prophage.
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 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 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.
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.
Are Hepatitis B and C a viral infection of the liver?
yes b-c viral infection
Is mumps a viral infection of the salivary gland?
No. It's caused by a viral infection in the salivary glands.
Is the avian flu viral or bacterial?
Spanish flu is viral.
Why are lysogens immune to superinfections?
Lysogens are immune to superinfections because they already contain a prophage (viral DNA) integrated into their bacterial genome. This prophage confers immunity by blocking the entry of new phages or preventing their replication inside the host cell. This phenomenon is known as superinfection immunity.
