Summary Introduction
To review:
The role of CI repressor and Cro protein in the lysogenic and lytic cycle.
Introduction:
A bacteriophage is the type of virus that especially infects the bacteria and this virus follows two cycles to reproduce into bacteria, lytic cycle and lysogenic cycle. In the lytic cycle, the phage undergoes replication and causes the lysis of the host cell while in the lysogenic cycle phage, the DNA is absorbed into the host genome and passes onto the upcoming generations.
