Diphtheria is caused by bacteria that have been infected by a bacteriophage. this bacteriophage is a lysogenic phage and contains the genes to produce the diphtheria toxin, which inhibits protein synthesis. which of the following is the correct term for the phage while its genetic material is integrated into the bacterial chromosome?

a. the genetic material is called a viroid
b. the genetic material is called a prophage and the change in the host cell's properties is called lysogenic conversion
c. the genetic material is called a transposon and the change in the host cell's properties is called competence
d. the genetic material is called a prion

The correct answer is b) The genetic material is called a prophage and the change in the host cell's properties is called lysogenic conversion

Explanation:

The term prophage is used to describe the genetic material of a bacteriophage which has been incorporated in the genome of infected bacteria. The resulting changes within the host´s properties are called lysogenic conversion. At this state the bacterial cell is still intact.

yes!

explanation:

because it has a type of fat that can make you extremely sick

bacteria could be both, harmful and to us. harmful bacteria could make us sick and probably even by getting the chances of getting a disease, but good bacteria fight it off with your immune system. there is always bacteria everywhere we go. we need to make sure to wash our hands after using the restroom, before eating, after eating, after petting an animal too. so you see, bacteria is everywhere and is harmful or . i hope this . : ) : ) : )
