Viruses and Their Replication - Temperate Bacteriophages and Lysogeny

5 important questions on Viruses and Their Replication - Temperate Bacteriophages and Lysogeny

What are the two different viral life cycles?

  • Virulent mode
  • Temperate mode

What is the temperate viral life cycle?


In the temperate mode viruses replicate their genomes in tandem with host genome and without killing host.
