As the lysogenic cycle allows the host cell to continue to survive and reproduce, the virus is replicated in all offspring of the cell. Pseudolysogeny occurs when a host cell encounters unfavourable growth conditions and appears to play an important role in phage.
Most viruses are too small 1002,000 angstrom units to be seen with the light microscope and thus must be studied by electron microscopes.

Study how bacteriophages replicate by injecting nucleic acid into a bacteria cell to create virions the cycle of infection results in the death of the host cell and the release of many virus particles, called virions. These are the lytic cycle, a productive process leading to synthesis of new phage particles, and the lysogenic cycle, a silent stage where the phage genome is integrated with the host chromosome. Other phages can alternate between a lytic lifecycle and a lysogenic lifecycle.
