The diagram to the right represents the lysogenic cycle. What is occurring at step D?

The provirus is created.

The provirus is replicated.

The provirus leaves the host cell’s nucleic acid.

The host cell divides.
The steps of the lysogenic cycle are shown. In Step A, attachment and entry occurs. In step B, the provirus is formed. In step C, the cell begins to divide. In step D, the provirus leaves. In step E, the virus is replicated and assembled. In step F, lysis and release of the virus occurs.

(This is the induction/excision step where the integrated provirus is removed from the host genome to begin the lytic cycle.)
