A prophage is a(n) . View Available Hint(s) A prophage is a(n) . emerging virus viral genome that has been incorporated into a bacterial cell's chromosome virus that infects bacteria type of retrovirus

The given question is incomplete as it lacks the options, however the options are as follows:

a. emerging virus

b. viral genome that has been incorporated into a bacterial cell's chromosome

c. prion that has been integrated into a bacterial cell's chromosome

d. type of retrovirus

e. virus that infects other viruses

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

A prophage is a viral genome or bacteriophage genome that is incorporated into bacterial cell's chromosome or present as an extrachromosomal plasmid. It is the part of lysogenic viral DNA that is located in the host's genome.

This is a phage that is latent that does not lead to the disruption of the bacterial cell even though the viral DNA present in the bacterium.

Thus, the correct answer is - option B.
