Under stressful conditions, a lysogenic bacterial population suddenly begins to lyse. Which process triggers the transition from the lysogenic to the lytic cycle?
Q1. Under stressful conditions, a lysogenic bacterial population suddenly begins to lyse. Which process triggers the transition from the lysogenic to the lytic cycle?
Answer: Induction
Explanation: Induction is the process where a prophage detaches to start the lytic cycle. Transduction involves horizontal gene transfer, not the cycle switch.
