Question

Which of the following is true concerning a lysogenic viral replication cycle?

a.Lysogenic infections are similar to persistent infections in that virus is constantly produced.
b. During lysogeny, the viral genome integrates into the host DNA, becoming a physical part of the chromosome.
c. During lysogeny, the host DNA is degraded.
d. Once the lysogenic portion of the cycle has begun, virus is never produced again.

Answer 1

b. During lysogeny, the viral genome integrates into the host DNA, becoming a physical part of the chromosome.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lysogenic viral replication cycle -

It is the one of the cycle of the viral reproduction .

It is also called as lysogenic cycle or Lysogeny .

In the Lysogeny , the integration of the bacteriophage nucleic acid lead to the formation of the circular replicon or into the bacterium's genome in the cytoplasm of the bacteria .

hence , the correct statemnet for the Lysogenic viral replication cycle is ( b ) .
