Answer 1

ANSWER:

Lysogeny, or the lysogenic cycle, is one of two cycles of viral reproduction (the lytic cycle being the other). Lysogeny is characterized by integration of the bacteriophage nucleic acid into the host bacterium's genome or formation of a circular replicon in the bacterial cytoplasm.

The lysogenic cycle is a method by which a virus can replicate its DNA using a host cell. A bacteriophage, or bacteria virus, injects its DNA into the bacteria. The DNA is then replicated when the bacteria undergo cell division.
