A lambda bacteriophage integrated into the genome of E. coli and became lysogenic. Upon UV irradiation, it is expected that the lytic cycle will be induced. Due to mutations that have occurred as a result of UV irradiation, you find that the lambda bacteriophage remains in the lysogenic state and lysis is impaired. Mutations in the following genes have been proposed to explain this observation: A. cI gene, protease cleavage site B. cII gene, DNA binding site C. RecA gene of E. coli D. RuvA gene of E. coli Which one of the following options represents all correct statements?
