Lytic vs Lysogenic Cycle

During the lytic infection by a virus, the host cell is-

• destroyed

• copied

• passed on to the lysogenic cycle

• not affected

At the end of the lytic cycle...

• The host cell continues to function normally

• The host cell divides into two new cells

• The host cell is destroyed (lysis)

• The host cell becomes a virus

Which viral life cycle allows viral genetic material to lay dormant while the host cell reproduces?

• lytic

• mitosis

• lysogenic

• S phase

During which cycle does a virus's genetic information become a part of the host cell's genetic information?

• Lytic

• Lysogenic

Which step of the lytic cycle is represented by the picture?

• Assembly

• Lysis

• Synthesis

• Injectiom

Which viral life cycle causes the host cell to burst open?

• lytic

• lysogenic

Which viral cycle kills its host cell by lysing (exploding)?

• lytic

• mitosis

• lysogenic

• S phase

What is the main difference between the lytic and lysogenic cycles?

• Lytic cycle destroys the host cell, lysogenic cycle integrates into the host genome

• Lytic cycle integrates into the host genome, lysogenic cycle destroys the host cell

• Both cycles destroy the host cell

• Both cycles integrate into the host genome

In which cycle does the viral DNA remain dormant within the host cell?

• Lytic cycle

• Lysogenic cycle

• Both cycles

• Neither cycle

Which of the following is a characteristic of the lytic cycle?

• Viral DNA integrates into the host genome

• Host cell remains intact

• Host cell is lysed

• Viral DNA is replicated without destroying the host
