Lytic vs Lysogenic

Which cycle kills the host cell immediately?

• Lytic

• Lysogenic

A virus that hides within the host cell for up to years is going through the _______ cycle.

• Lytic

• Lysogenic

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

• Lysogenic Cycle

• Lytic Cycle

• Binary Fission

• Conjugation

Answer explanation

The viral life cycle that kills its host cell by lysing (bursting) is the Lytic Cycle.

Viruses use two different cycles of replication, the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle. In what way is the lysogenic cycle different from the lytic cycle?

• The virus recognizes and attaches to host cell.

• The host cell is not destroyed immediately.

• Viral DNA is replicated along with host DNA.

• The virus injects its DNA into the host cell.

Answer explanation

The lysogenic cycle differs from the lytic cycle as the host cell is not immediately destroyed.

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 directs the production of new viruses right away.

Which cycle is demonstrated below:

• Lytic Cycle

• Lysogenic Cycle

• Solar Cycle

What happens if a cell is in a lysogenic cycle?

• the virus will become part of your cells DNA but it hides

• the virus causes your cell to make copies of itself

• the virus will cause you cell to break open

• all of the options listed

What process is this?

• phagocytosis

• lytic cycle

• lysogenic cycle

• formation of antibodies

Which cycle is pictured here?

What happens in the lysogenic cycle? 

• Virus goes in and leaves the host cell

• Virus quickly kills the host cell

• Virus inject the nucleic acid into the host cell, and the nucleic acid integrates into the host cell DNA, and stay dormant for a long time

• Bacteria injects DNA into a host cell
