Lytic vs Lysogenic Cycle

What process is this?

• phagocytosis

• lytic cycle

• lysogenic cycle

• formation of antibodies

Answer explanation

The process depicted is the lysogenic cycle, where the viral DNA integrates into the host cell's genome and remains dormant until triggered to enter the lytic cycle.

Which of the following correctly describes what happens when a host cell undergoes lysis?

• The cell bursts, releasing viruses.

• New virus particles are synthesized.

• Viral DNA is replicated by the host.

• A prophase is inserted into host DNA.

Answer explanation

When a host cell undergoes lysis, it bursts, releasing viruses.

What is shown here?

• Lysogenic Cycle

• Lytic Cycle

• Binary Fission

• Conjugation

Which viral cycle takes the longest to show symptoms?

• Lysogenic

• Lytic

What is the first step to both cycles?

• The virus attaches to a host

• the virus injects genetic material

• the host gets sick

• the cell is destroyed

When the viral DNA becomes active in the lysogenic cycle, which life cycle does it enter?

• lytic

• lysogenic

• cell cycle

• DNA replication

A virus that goes through the ______ cycle will allow you to feel symptoms immediately due to the cells lysing.

• Lytic

• Lysogenic

Which of the following best describes the lytic cycle?

• The virus integrates its DNA into the host genome

• The host cell bursts, releasing new viruses

• The virus remains dormant within the host cell

• The host cell divides normally

In which cycle does the viral DNA integrate into the host cell's genome?

• Lytic cycle

• Lysogenic cycle

• Both cycles

• Neither cycle

What triggers the transition from the lysogenic cycle to the lytic cycle?

• Host cell division

• Environmental stress

• Viral DNA replication

• Host cell lysis
