Lysogeny is a process in which a bacteriophage (virus that infects bacteria) inserts its genetic material into the host bacterium's genome, becoming a prophage. The viral DNA is then replicated along with the bacterial DNA as the host cell divides, remaining dormant until triggered to initiate the lytic cycle and produce new phage particles. This allows the virus to persist in the bacterial population without causing immediate harm.
When bacteriophage DNA becomes integrated into the bacterial chromosome, it is known as lysogeny. The integrated phage DNA is called a prophage. During lysogeny, the bacteriophage DNA remains dormant, replicating along with the bacterial chromosome. Under certain conditions, such as stress, the prophage can become activated and enter the lytic cycle, leading to viral replication and cell lysis.
Viral DNA incorporated in bacterial DNA is called a prophage.
In biology, LB stands for Lysogeny Broth, which is a commonly used nutrient-rich media for culturing bacteria such as Escherichia coli. It contains tryptone, yeast extract, NaCl, and sometimes agar, providing the necessary nutrients for bacterial growth.
A lyric cycle refers to the process by which a virus infects a host cell, replicates inside the cell, and then bursts out to infect more cells. Lysogeny, on the other hand, is when a virus incorporates its genetic material into the host cell's DNA and remains dormant until conditions are favorable for it to enter the lytic cycle.
Generalized transduction can transfer any bacterial gene, while specialized transduction transfers only specific genes located near the integrated prophage site. Generalized transduction is caused by a lytic phage, while specialized transduction is caused by a lysogenic phage reactivating and entering the lytic cycle.

This process is known as lysogeny, where a virus integrates its genetic material into the chromosome of its host bacterium and remains dormant until conditions are favorable for reactivation.

This process is called lysogeny, and the host cell is referred to as a lysogenic cell. The integrated viral DNA is known as a prophage.
LB stands for Lysogeny Broth, which is a nutrient-rich medium used for cultivating bacteria. LB agar is a solidified form of this medium, containing agar to solidify the liquid broth for bacterial growth.
