  1. lysogenicity

    Lysogenicity refers to the characteristic or quality of certain viruses, primarily bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria), where they incorporate their genetic material into the host cell's DNA without causing immediate destruction or lysis of the host. Instead, they stay dormant or latent within the host, replicating their genetic material along with the host's DNA each time the host cell divides. This state is known as the lysogenic cycle or lysogenic phase.
