Which of the following statements is true regarding the lysogenic cycle of a bacteriophage? Group of answer choices A bacteriophage's main goal is to kill its host. A bacteriophage will remain in this life cycle until more nutrients become available to its host cell. A bacteriophage will integrate its single-stranded genome into the host's chromosome. A bacteriophage will replicate over 300 particles during this life cycle.

Which of the following is FALSE regarding bacteriophages? After the lysogenic cycle, the bacteriophage will activate, cut itself out, and enter the lytic cycle. Some bacteriophages can only undergo the lytic phase. Bacteriophage transduction describes the movement of genetic material by bacteriophages. Bacteriophages that can undergo the lysogenic cycle will first assemble virions and then cause the cell to lyse. During the lysogenic cycle, the bacteria will replicate the prophage along with itself.

Which of the following statements is false concerning the life cycle of a bacteriophage? Select one: a. In the lytic cycle, new phage are produced and released into the environment. b. In the lysogenic cycle, phage DNA is incorporated into the host genome. c. An environmental stressor can cause the phage to initiate the lysogenic cycle. d. all of the above

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 phage 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.
