Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Some bacteriophages have the ability to insert their viral DNA into the host bacterium's chromosome, a phenomenon known as lysogeny. This results in the viral DNA becoming a permanent part of the host chromosome and every time the bacterium divides, the viral DNA is also replicated and passed on to the daughter cells.
