Answer:

cycle:

1. Attachment: A bacteriophage attaches to the surface of a bacterial cell.

2. Entry: The viral DNA is injected into the bacterium and integrates into the host chromosome.

3. Prophage: The integrated viral DNA is known as a prophage and is replicated along with the bacterial chromosome.

4. Replication: The prophage replicates along with the bacterial DNA during cell division.

5. Induction: A trigger, such as stress or UV radiation, causes the prophage to leave the bacterial chromosome and enter the lytic cycle.

6. Lytic cycle: The viral DNA begins replicating and producing new phages, which lyse the host cell and release new viruses.

7. Release: The newly produced phages are released into the environment to find other bacterial cells to infect.

Note: The lysogenic cycle can sometimes be followed by the lytic cycle, in which the virus uses the host cell to produce new viruses, ultimately leading to lysis of the host cell.
