Please define the following terms and match them with their corresponding definitions: - Prophage: a virus that is able to incorporate its genetic information into a bacterium's genome. - Provirus: a virus that is able to incorporate its genetic information into a eukaryote's genome. - Lytic cycle: a viral lifestyle that allows it to replicate in the cytoplasm of its host cell and eventually destroy it by lysing the cell membrane to escape. - Temperate phage: a bacterial virus that is capable of performing both lytic and lysogenic lifecycle. - Lysogenic lifecycle: a lifestyle seen in prophages and proviruses.
