Temperate phages are bacteriophages that can follow two replication pathways: lytic and lysogenic. In the lytic cycle, they infect a bacterial host and replicate rapidly, causing cell lysis. In the lysogenic cycle, they integrate their DNA into the host genome, replicating along with the host without causing immediate cell lysis.

What are the phages called that are capable of using both modes of reproduction?
Phages that are capable of using both the lytic and lysogenic modes of reproduction are called temperate phages. In the lysogenic mode, temperate phages integrate their DNA into the host genome, while in the lytic mode, they replicate and cause cell lysis.
Phages or virus that go through the lysogenic virus cycle are callled what?
Perhaps the imminent death of the host cell could trigger the lysis, or just any change in conditions that would be programed into the virus DNA that would trigger the exit from the host.
What is a harmless bacteriophage?
A harmless bacteriophage is a virus that infects bacteria but does not cause harm to humans or animals. These phages can be used therapeutically to target specific bacterial infections without affecting beneficial bacteria in the body.
What is the difference between a virulent phage and a temperate phage?
A virulent phage only follows the lytic lifecycle, where it infects the host cell, replicates, and then lyses the cell to release new phages. In contrast, a temperate phage can follow both the lytic and lysogenic lifecycle. In the lysogenic cycle, the temperate phage integrates its DNA into the host genome, replicating as part of the host cell's DNA without causing immediate cell lysis.

What do you call a bacteriophage when it is in a lysogenic cycle?
Phages that replicate only via the lytic cycle are known as virulent phages while phages that replicate using both lytic and lysogenic cycles are known as temperate phages.
Do temperate phage form bacteriophage plaques?
Yes, temperate phages can form bacteriophage plaques when they infect bacterial cells. Temperate phages have the ability to integrate into the bacterial host genome as a prophage and can undergo a lysogenic cycle where they replicate alongside the host cell without causing immediate lysis. If conditions change, they can enter a lytic cycle and form plaques by causing host cell lysis.
What is a virulent phages?
phages of virulent.
Phages or virus that go through the lysogenic virus cycle are callled what?
Perhaps the imminent death of the host cell could trigger the lysis, or just any change in conditions that would be programed into the virus DNA that would trigger the exit from the host.
When was Phages - EP - created?
Phages - EP - was created in 2006.
Can two phages infect bacteria at a time?
It can be.in this way we can obtain new phages thah share genes of bpth phages.

How virtulent phages can multiply?
Virulent (virtulent) phages multiply by first attaching itself to a host cell and then absorbing it. Next, it injects its own DNA and the host eventually bursts and more phages present.
What does the filamentous phages contain?
Comal oligists
How did Hershey and Chase separate the phages from the bacteria?
