Question

Vibrio chlorea is a bacteriium that produces toxin and is capable of causing chlorea only when bacteriophage CTX is lysogenic within it. Why?

a) specialized transduction

b) generalized transduction

c) the toxin has to be modified by the cell

d) the virus caries the toxigenic gene

e) the bacteriophage prevents the host from neutralizing the toxin by product

Heres what I know:

This is lysogenic phage conversion. Bacteria can produce the specific toxin only when it carries a lysogenic phage , because the prophage carries the gene encoding the toxin. But my confusion is this answer c seems correct but Im unsure... could be d
