Lytic Cycle

What happens to cells when their membranes break apart?

• The virus dies

• The virus destroys and damages a host cell

• the capsid bursts

• the virus becomes dormant

What do viruses need to reproduce?

• they need genetic material

• They need a host cell

• They need  bacteria

• They need insulin

What cycle is represented by the letter "A"?

What are the steps of the lytic cycle in order from first to last?

• Attachment, Injection, Synthesis, Assembly, Lysis

• Injection, Attachment, Synthesis, Assembly, Lysis

• Synthesis, Assembly, Lysis, Attachment, Injection

• Attachment, Synthesis, Injection, Assembly, Lysis

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 step of the lytic cycle is represented by the picture?

• Injection

• Attachment

• Synthesis

• Lysis

What is the primary purpose of the lytic cycle in viruses?

• To integrate viral DNA into the host genome

• To replicate the virus and destroy the host cell

• To allow the virus to remain dormant

• To enable the virus to acquire nutrients

Which of the following is the first step in the lytic cycle?

• Lysis

• Synthesis

• Attachment

• Assembly

During the lytic cycle, what happens during the synthesis phase?

• The virus attaches to the host cell

• Viral components are produced using the host's machinery

• The host cell bursts, releasing new viruses

• The viral DNA integrates into the host genome
