    Lysogenic cycle commonly occur in eukaryotes and is a process where viral DNA or RNA is integrated into the host cell as a new set of genes called prophage. However, the Viral DNA becomes the part of the cells genetic materials.

    Steps involves during lysogenic cycle:

    1) Cell enters the viral genome

    2) Integration of the viral genome into the host cell genome

    3) Viral chromosome is copied by the host cell using DNA polymerase

    4) Cell division occurs and transfers of virus chromosomes to the daughter cell

    5) Any trigger in virus will result into detachment of viral genome from the host cell’s DNA.
