Use the passage to answer the question.

The bacteriophage used in this experiment reproduces by the lytic cycle Suppose a similar experiment were conducted with a bacteriophage that uses the lysogenic cycle How would the effect on the infected bacteria MOST likely differ?

In 1952. Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase conducted an experiment about bacteriophage reproduction. They inserted a phosphorous isotope (P) into the bacteriophages DNA, and a sulfur isotope (S) into a protein in the bacteriophages capsids Hershey and Chase then infected bacteria with the bacteriophages. After infection, they put the bacteria in a blender to separate the cells from the extracellular matter. They measured the percentage of isotopes that remained in the extracellular matter. The results are in the graph below

0 The bacteriophage would attach to the bacteria and reproduce in the extracellular space

The bacteriophage would become permanently dormant and unresponsive to environmental cues for reproduction

The bacteriophage would attach its geries to the Obacteria's DNA, allowing its genes to be passed to the baderla's daughter cells.

The bacteriophages would burst out of the bacterial cell, but they would be unable to enter another cell

The correct answer is: The bacteriophage would attach its genes to the bacteria's DNA, allowing its genes to be passed to the bacteria's daughter cells.
