Solution

The correct option is B Lambda phage
Lysogenic cycle is the reproductive cycle of a temperate, nonvirulent phage (like lambda phage), which has the potential to lyse the host cell but normally involves the integration of viral genome with host DNA and multiplication of the same along with the host cell. In lysogenic life cycle, lambda attaches to the surface of Escherichia coli and injects it's DNA. Phage DNA becomes non-virulent or temperate and attaches to bacterial DNA at a specific site by means of enzyme integrase.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Distinguish between the lysogenic and lytic phases in the life cycle of a virus.

The growth of ampicillin resistant bacterial population (strain 1) infected by a virus declines as the virus enters lytic cycle. Then the virus undergoes lysogenic cycle and further remove themselves from bacterial genome during heat shock treatment to proteins. All the bacteria die after some time and only free virus now grow. A second bacterial ampicillin sensitive population (strain 2) is infected by this virus. Similarly, the bacterial population decreases and ampicillin population rebounds.

Which of the following explains the rapid growth of bacterial population as compared to human population?
