A bacteriophage infects a host cell and the genome integrates itself into the host chromosome. Sometime later, the phage is excised along with a short piece of DNA adjacent to the insertion point. Both the phage DNA and the host DNA are packaged into the same capsid. The bacteriophage then infects a new cell, delivering both phage and bacterial DNA. Which process is being described in this scenario above? The lysogenic cycle, reactivating as the lytic cycle, followed by transduction The lytic cycle, reactivating as the lysogenic cycle, followed by transduction
