Don't worry, it should be. Your epidermis is the top part of your skin, and your skin is your body's largest and fastest-growing organ. Skin is your body's coat. It protects you. It helps you stay warm when it's cold, and cool when it's hot. Your skin keeps all your insides in, from your heart and lungs to your blood and muscles.
In the other population of cells, the injected phage chromosome turns OFF all the phage genes except one. The single phage chromosome called the prophage now becomes a part of the host chromosome. The bacterium carrying the dormant phage chromosome is called the lysogen.
Post. Share. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. A bacteriophage can have a protein tail attached to the capsid (protein coat that envelopes the genetic material), which is used to infect the host bacteria.Scientists have long sought to uncover the structure and function of viruses.enetic recombination occurs between the viral DNA and the bacterial genome as the viral DNA is inserted into the bacterial chromosome. In the lytic life cycle, the virus breaks open or lyses the host cell. This results in the death of the host.
