Answera. use site specific recombination to incorporate their genome into the host genome for prophage replication until the host's growth is threatened.

Step-by-step explanation:

A temperate phage is a bacteriophage which incorporate it's genome inside the host organism. It replicates it's own genome within the host cell. It basically uses the site specific recombination so as to incorporate the genome within the host cell.
