thanks, this information proves to be very helpful for me.

Hi, i was reading  T.A Brown for recombinant DNA tech. so it is in chapter 2nd i.e VECTORS FOR GENE CLONING  under the subheading of THE PHAGE INFECTION CYCLE .

i am sharing the paragraph and  - With some phage types the entire infection cycle is completed very quickly, possibly
in less than 20 minutes. This type of rapid infection is called a lytic cycle, as release of the new phage particles is associated with lysis of the bacterial cell. The characteristic
feature of a lytic infection cycle is that phage DNA replication is immediately followed by synthesis of capsid proteins, and the phage DNA molecule is never maintained in a
stable condition in the host cell.

why phage DNA molecue is not maintained stable condition in host cell?
