Question

A prophage is a choose one:

a. virus that promotes tumor growth in plants.
b. bacterial virus particle that has not yet infected a cell.
c. phage genome integrated into a host genome.
d. circular phage genome that promotes cell lysis.

Answer 1

b.bacterial virus particle that has not yet infected a cell.

Answer 2

The answer is c)phage genome integrated into a host genome.

Step-by-step explanation:

A prophage is the genome or part of the genome of an attenuated phage, which has been inserted into the linear structure of a bacterium's chromosome. It has no immediate ability to replicate. The infection occurs when the phage carries out the lytic cycle, and for this it is necessary that a prophage is inserted into the chromosome of the bacteria. When the phage remains dormant, it is called lysogenic phage
