Question
heroes simplex 1 is a virus that infects nerve cells in humans the viral dna can remain inactive for months or years at a time, until a stimulus such as stress or a horizontal change triggers viral replication. when the virus becomes active, it can cause a cold sore, or fever blister. in about a week, the cold sore heals, and the heroes simplex 1 virus remains inactive until it is triggered again.
which statement best describes the reproductive cycle of the heroes simplex 1 virus when a person does not have a cold sore?
a it is lysogenic, because it infects both neurons and skin cells
b it is lyric, because the cold sore heals in a short period of time
c it is lysogenic, because the virus remains inactive for a long period of time
d it is lyric, because the virus can be triggered by hormonal changes

The statement that best describes the reproductive cycle of the herpes simplex 1 virus when a person does not have a cold sore is:
**c it is lysogenic, because the virus remains inactive for a long period of time.**
In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA can integrate into the host's genome and remain dormant (inactive) until triggered, which aligns with the behavior of the herpes simplex 1 virus when it is not actively causing cold sores.
**c it is lysogenic, because the virus remains inactive for a long period of time.**
In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA can integrate into the host's genome and remain dormant (inactive) until triggered, which aligns with the behavior of the herpes simplex 1 virus when it is not actively causing cold sores.
