Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phage conversion refers to the process by which a bacterium acquires a new trait through the presence of a prophage, such as toxin production in diphtheria caused by the presence of a specific prophage. Induction of the prophage is the process by which the phage genome is activated and initiates the lytic cycle, which is not part of phage conversion. The other choices are all part of phage conversion.
