Question

Which is true about the lytic and lysogenic cycles of viruses?(1 point)
Responses

The viral genome incorporates into the host genome during the lysogenic cycle.
The viral genome incorporates into the host genome during the lysogenic cycle.

The lytic cycle involves the merging together of the viral and host genomes.
The lytic cycle involves the merging together of the viral and host genomes.

The lysogenic cycle involves newly replicated virus bursting from the cell.
The lysogenic cycle involves newly replicated virus bursting from the cell.

The viral genome is injected into the cell only during the lytic cycle.

Answer 1

The viral genome incorporates into the host genome during the lysogenic cycle.

Explanation: In lysogeny (temperate phages) the viral genome integrates into the host chromosome as a prophage. The lytic cycle produces new virions and causes cell lysis. The other statements are incorrect.
