The Genome of a Temperate Phage Can Replicate Along with the Host

Question

The genome of a temperate phage can replicate along with the host genome during lysogeny.

Accepted Answer

During lysogeny, the temperate phage integrates its genome into the host chromosome and replicates along with it during cell division. This allows the phage to be passed on to daughter cells and become a permanent part of the host genome.
