How are genes arranged in a lysogenic phage (for example a lambda phage)?

How are genes arranged in a lysogenic phage (for example a lambda phage)? Correct Answer In clusters

Genes related in terms of function are clustered together in the genome. Clustering is profoundly important for controlling the expression of the lambda genome as it allows genes to be switched on and off rather than individually.
