What are two ways that phage can replicate in harmony (not directly lysing) their host cell?

What are two ways that phage can replicate in harmony (not directly lysing) their host cell?

A.
Conjugation and lysogeny

B.
Lysogeny and transduction

C.
Extrusion and transformation

D.
Extrusion and lysogeny

A lysogenic cell contains viral DNA, a prophage, integrated into the host chromosome.

Indicate whether this statement is true or false.

The integration of phage DNA into host DNA occurs in much the same fashion as seen in transformation, transduction, or conjugation.

Indicate whether this statement is true or false.

Once inside the host cell, phage DNA

A. is replicated.
B. is transcribed.
C. may get degraded by bacterial nucleases.
D. All of the choices are correct.

Using phages to treat a bacterial infection is an interesting idea because

A. a single type of phage can destroy a wide range of strains of the same pathogen.
B. of the increasing problem of antibiotic resistance.
C. lysed bacteria pose no threat.
D. a single phage can be genetically engineered to infect many different species of bacteria.
