Question

In the figure above,the viral DNA in the lysogenic pathway ____.is no longer present
A)has been destroyed by host bacterial enzymes 
B)is integrated into the bacterial chromosome 
C)has been copied and changed into bacterial DNA 
D)is no longer present 
E)has been transcribed into RNA

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the lysogenic pathway, the viral DNA integrates into the bacterial chromosome, becoming a part of the host DNA. This allows it to be replicated during host cell division and passed on to daughter cells. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect as host bacterial enzymes do not destroy the viral DNA in the lysogenic pathway. Option C is incorrect as the viral DNA is not changed into bacterial DNA but is integrated into it. Option D is incorrect as the viral DNA is present in the lysogenic pathway. Option E is incorrect as transcription occurs before translation, and the lysogenic pathway does not involve translating viral RNA.
