Temperate phage may exist as_____________?
Correct answer: A. Prophage
- A. Prophage
- B. Capsid
- C. Viron
- D. Retrovirus
Explanation
A temperate phage can integrate its DNA into the bacterial chromosome, where it is called a prophage. A capsid is the protein coat, and a virion is a complete virus particle, so these terms describe structures rather than the integrated state of a temperate phage.
