Don't worry, it should be. Your epidermis is the top part of your skin, and your skin is your body's largest and fastest-growing organ. Skin is your body's coat. It protects you. It helps you stay warm when it's cold, and cool when it's hot. Your skin keeps all your insides in, from your heart and lungs to your blood and muscles.
In the other population of cells, the injected phage chromosome turns OFF all the phage genes except one. The single phage chromosome called the prophage now becomes a part of the host chromosome. The bacterium carrying the dormant phage chromosome is called the lysogen.
Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect bacteria. Typical phages have hollow heads (where the phage DNA or RNA is stored) and tunnel tails, the tips of which have the ability to bind to specific molecules on the surface of their target bacteria.edit] Replication Bacteriophages may have a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle, however a few viruses are capable of carrying out both. In the lytic cycle, characteristic of virulent phages such as the T4 phage, host cells will be broken open (lysed) and suffer death after immediate replication of the virion.
