Question

Which viral replication cycle cause the cell to quickly begin making virus copies until the cell lyses/burst?
Q
Viruses
Carbon cycle
Lytic cycle
Virus Cycle
Lysogenic cycle

Answer 1

The correct answer is Lytic cycle.

In the lytic cycle, the virus infects a host cell and quickly takes over the cell's machinery to produce many copies of itself. This process ultimately leads to the lysis (bursting) of the host cell, releasing the new viral particles to infect other cells.
