Question

7. After entering the host cell, will the bacteriophage lambda follow the lysogenic cycle or the lytic cycle? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within a bacterium. Temperate phages (such as lambda phage) can reproduce using both the lytic and the lysogenic cycle. ... Lysogens can remain in the lysogenic cycle for many generations but can switch to the lytic cycle at any time via a process known as induction.
