Choose the correct statement with respect to lysogen and prophage. Correct Answer If there is only growth of few lysogens, the E. coli lawn would be turbid

If only growth of few lysogens would take place, the lawn would be turbid. In the acse, if lysogens aren’t formed, the plaques would be clear.
