Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prophages do not cause lysis of host cells. Instead, they integrate into the host chromosome and replicate along with it, potentially being passed on to future generations of offspring cells. Lysis of host cells is typically caused by lytic phages, which do not integrate into the host chromosome.
