A host cell is not immediately taken over during which of these? A. prophage infection B. lytic infection C. lysogeneic infection D. none of the above

Answer:

The correct answer would be C. lysogenic infection.

In lysogenic infection, the phage nuclear content is not copied or expressed immediately after entering into the host cell.

Instead, the viral genetic material gets recombined or integrated into the particular region of the host cell's chromosome.

The integrated phage is termed as prophage. The viral genes neither get expressed not they result in the production of new phages.

However, they are copied with host DNA each time the host cell divides.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "lysogeneic infection".

Explanation:

A lysogeneic infection, also known as lysogenic cycle, is a method at which a virus replicates its genetic material but it is not translated into proteins. During this cycle the host cell is not immediately taken over, because the host apparently is not affected by the infection. However, the viral genome is integrated into the host and as the host replicates, the viral genome gets replicated as well.
