Which of the following is characteristic of the lysogenic cycle? A large number of phages are released at a time. The virus-host relationship usually lasts for generations. The viral genome replicates without destroying the host. Viral DNA is incorporated into the host genome.

The lysogenic pathway is characterized by: integration of viral DNA into the host chromosome, extensive transcription of viral DNA, host cell death, release of phages, and no dormant stage.
Madhur L.
The Lysogenic Cycle is another type of viral reproductive cycle in which the genome of the phage is replicated without destroying the host. Phages capable of using both modes of reproduction (lytic and lysogenic) are referred to as temperate phages. a) During the lysogenic cycle, the phage genome is mostly silent within the bacteria. Why?
In the lysogenic cycle of bacteriophage $\lambda$, a. a repressor, cI, blocks the lytic cycle. b. the bacteriophage carries DNA between bacterial cells. c. both early and late viral genes are transcribed. d. the viral genome is made into RNA, which stays in the host cell. e. many new viruses are made immediately, regardless of host health.
