Lysogeny is best described as which of the following?
A
A process where a bacteriophage integrates its DNA into the host cell's genome
B
A mechanism of direct DNA transfer between bacteria
C
A method of bacterial reproduction through binary fission
D
A process where a virus immediately lyses the host cell upon infection
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of lysogeny: Lysogeny is a process involving bacteriophages, which are viruses that infect bacteria.
Recognize that in lysogeny, the bacteriophage's DNA becomes integrated into the host bacterium's genome, forming a prophage.
Differentiate lysogeny from other processes: Unlike lytic cycles where the virus immediately lyses the host cell, lysogeny allows the viral DNA to be replicated along with the host cell's DNA without causing immediate harm.
Identify the correct description: The key feature of lysogeny is the integration of viral DNA into the host genome, which can remain dormant until triggered to enter a lytic cycle.
Conclude that the correct description of lysogeny is 'A process where a bacteriophage integrates its DNA into the host cell's genome.'
