Viral genome incorporated into host DNA is called
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Prophage
Temperate phage when enters into bacteria, it does not cause lysis of bacteria. Phage genome gets incorporated into bacterial genome and replicates with it. Phage nucleic acid incorporated into the host genome is called 'prophage'. Most of the prophage genes are repressed by two repressor proteins that are the product of phage genes. Prophase is the first stage of cell division. A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within the bacteria.Thus, the correct answer is option B.
