The lysogenic cycle is a phage reproduction method where the viral genome merges with the bacterial chromosome as a prophage, without killing the host.
A lysogenic cycle occurs when a phage's genetic material integrates into the host's chromosome, forming a prophage, and does not immediately cause cell death.
