Lysogenic is when the virus enters and binds into the hosts DNA and one could replicate slowly or two when the virus sense the host cell is about to die, the virus will go into lyic cycle and replicate and kills the host cell.

∙ 15y agoA lysogenic phage is a 'temperate' bacteriophage (such as lambda phage) that integrates its genome inside that of the host without immediately transcribing and making new virus particles. However, at a later time, the integrated genome can be excised and begin to be actively transcribed, producing virus particles that eventually burst the cell. This is opposite to the 'lytic' variety of bacteriophage (T4 phage) that immediately transcribe and make new virus after infecting the host cell, causing rapid lysis.

Which events occurs in the lytic cycle of bacteriophage T4 infection but not in the lysogenic cycle?
Digestion of host DNA.
What is the phage DNA that is integrated into a host cell's chromosome is called a?
Phage DNA that is integrated into a host's cell chromosome is a bacteriophage. They behave as lytic or lysogenic. Lytic breaks open the host after replication, , lysogenic does not destroy the host.
A virus that infects a bacteria is known as a?
The type of virus that infects a bacteria is called a bacteriophage. An example of such a bacteriophage is the T3 bacteriophage.
What is a virus called that invades bacteria?
A bacteriophage is the type of virus that invades bacteria.
What is a lysogenic pathway characterized by?
The lysogenic pathway is characterized by passive replication of viral DNA.
Is mumps disease a bacteriophage?
it goes through the lysogenic cycle.
How does a bacteriophage enter a bacterial?
Through a lysogenic or lytic infection
Why did Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase chose bacteriophage as their virus?
Because it infects bacteria and uses it as a factory to replicate and create more bacteriophage. T2 Bacteriophage undergoes lytic life cycle and NOT lysogenic life cycle
Which events occurs in the lytic cycle of bacteriophage T4 infection but not in the lysogenic cycle?
Digestion of host DNA.
Which bacteriophage lifestyles involves continuous production of new bacteriophage again and again without stopping causing the nearly immediate death of each new host?
Sounds like you are describing the lysogenic cycle.
What do you call a bacteriophage when it is in a lysogenic cycle?
Phages that replicate only via the lytic cycle are known as virulent phages while phages that replicate using both lytic and lysogenic cycles are known as temperate phages.
What is the phage DNA that is integrated into a host cell's chromosome is called a?
Phage DNA that is integrated into a host's cell chromosome is a bacteriophage. They behave as lytic or lysogenic. Lytic breaks open the host after replication, , lysogenic does not destroy the host.
Why does lysogenic bacteriophage contribute to bacterial virulence?
The genetic material of the phage can be passed on to future generations of cells.
Is a virus that infects bacteria called bacteriophage?
bacteriophage
HOW DOES A lysogenic infection help virus spread?
I don't know if this is what you are lookding for but here is what happens with a bacteriophage (a virus that infects bacteria) In a lysogenic infection the bactierophage DNA will insert itself into the bacterial chromosome and may replicate with the bacterium for many generations. (inactive) The bacteriohpage DNA can then exit the bacterial chromosome. If it does this then it can enter the LYTIC cycle.
What is the difference between a bacteriaiophage and a prophage?
A bacteriophage is a completely assembled virus capable of landing on a bacterium and injecting it's genetic material in lysis, or a lysogenic attack. A provirus is a virus that has incorporated it's genetic material into the genetic material of the host for continual replication, thus, " before " the phage. This is the lysogenic phase of viral attack.
A virus that infects a bacteria is known as a?
The type of virus that infects a bacteria is called a bacteriophage. An example of such a bacteriophage is the T3 bacteriophage.
