Question
Explain in molecular terms how a bacterial cell is made lysogenic by a temperate phage such a lambda
Expert Solution
arrow_forward
Step 1
Introduction :-
Lysogeny is the process in which a temperate phage, such as lambda, infects a bacterial cell and integrates its genetic material into the bacterium's chromosome, becoming a prophage. The prophage remains in the bacterium's genome and is replicated along with the rest of the chromosome during cell division.
