Which of the following is true regarding the phase lambda, a virus which infects bacteria?
In the lytic cycle, the bacterial host replicates viral DNA, passing it on to daughter cells during binary fission
In the lysogenic cycle, the bacteria-host replicates viral DNA, passing it onto daughter cells during binary fission
In the lytic cycle, viral DNA is integrated into the host genome
In the lysogenic cycle, the host bacterial cell burst, releasing phases
The part of the bacterial chromosomes sharing homology with genome fragment transferred from the recipients to cell during emrozygote formation is known as
Eugenic
Exogenate
Endogenate
Dysgenic
C.
Endogenate
ENdogenate is the native DNA of the recipient bacterial cell which shares homology with the DNA Fragment inserted into it.
Exogenate is the DNA fragment that has been transferred into a recipient cell.
Eugenic is the study or practice of attempting to improve the human gene pool by encouraging reproduction among people with desirable traits. Dysgenics is the study of factors causing propagation of undesirable or disadvantageous genes and traits.

Protease
Lipase
Amylase
