Question

The lysogenic cycle is beneficial to the reproduction of a bacteriophage because ___________________.

Answer 1

The answer is D-  it allows the phage DNA to be replicated during bacterial replication


Bacteriophage can use two different cycles: the lysogenic cycle or lytic cycle.

the lysogenic cycle is a method by which a bacteriophage can replicate its DNA using a bacteria cell. In this cycle the DNA is only replicated, not translated into proteins so the bacteria won't be killed.
