Phage genome site on bacterial chromosome resulted in the structure

  • Nucleic acid

  • Heterocyst

  • Prophage

  • None of these


C.

Prophage

Prophage is the DNA of bacteriophage that is repressed for lytic functions and is maintained in the host bacterium in a stable state. Te phage genome is integrated into DNA of its bacterial host and may be replicated along with  the host DNA, as in the case or bacteriophage lambda or may be maintained as extrachromosomal DNA, as in the case for bacteriophage, lambda P1
