Final answer:

A prophage is phage DNA integrated into bacterial DNA, forming when a temperate bacteriophage infects a bacterium.


Explanation:

A prophage is phage DNA that is integrated into bacterial DNA. It forms when a temperate bacteriophage infects a bacterium and incorporates its DNA into the host cell's genome. The virus remains dormant in the host cell until induced, leading to excision of the prophage and entry into a lytic phase.
