Responses

Viral proteins are synthesized during the lysogenic cycle.
Viral proteins are synthesized during the lysogenic cycle.

The virus injects DNA into the host cell during the lysogenic cycle.
The virus injects DNA into the host cell during the lysogenic cycle.

The host cell is destroyed during the lytic cycle.
The host cell is destroyed during the lytic cycle.

The host cell copies its own DNA during the lytic cycle.

Answer 1

The correct differentiation between the lysogenic and lytic cycles is:

The host cell is destroyed during the lytic cycle.

In the lytic cycle, the virus replicates quickly, leading to the destruction of the host cell and the release of new viral particles. In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA is incorporated into the host cell's genome and remains dormant for a time without destroying the host cell.
