Which term would be associated with a prophage?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A prophage is a bacteriophage DNA that has integrated into the bacterial chromosome and enters into a lysogenic phase, where it becomes inactive and replicates along with the host cell's DNA. Therefore, the correct choice would be C, as it refers to the phage F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 in lysogenic phase. HIV (A) is a retrovirus that infects human immune cells and is not related to prophages. F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 in lytic phase (B) denotes the active viral replication of the phage, whereas the prophage is inactive. The bacterial lac operon (D and E) is not related to prophages.
