• Outside of a cell
• Inside of a cell
• They do not reproduce

Multiple Choice

In which cycle, does a virus reproduce in your body very quickly?

• Lytic

• Lysogenic

Multiple Choice

Choose the correct order of lytic cycle steps

• attachment, injection, assembly, synthesis, lysis

• attachment, injection, synthesis, assembly, lysis

• attachment, injection, assembly, lysis, synthesis

• attachment, lysis, assembly, synthesis, injection

Multiple Choice

The ___________ cycle allows replication of the virus without destroying the host.

• lysogenic

• lytic

Multiple Choice

What is one way that a lysogenic infection differs from a lytic infection?

• A lysogenic virus does not act on bacteria as a lytic virus does.
• A lysogenic virus can remain in the host DNA for a longer period without becoming active.
• A lysogenic virus contains RNA instead of DNA.
• A lysogenic virus directs the production of new viruses right away.
