Responses

Viral proteins are synthesized during the lysogenic cycle.
Viral proteins are synthesized 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.
The host cell copies its own DNA during the lytic 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.

Answer 1

The key differences between the lysogenic and lytic cycles can be summarized as follows:

1. Lytic Cycle:

   • The host cell is destroyed as the new viral particles are released. This cycle results in cell lysis and death of the host to release the virus.
   • Viral proteins are synthesized and assembled rapidly, leading to the immediate production of new viruses.

2. Lysogenic Cycle:

   • The virus integrates its DNA into the host's genome, where it can remain dormant for an extended period. The host cell replicates its own DNA along with the viral DNA during cell division, without causing immediate harm to the host.
   • Viral proteins are not immediately synthesized; instead, the viral DNA is passed on to daughter cells.

In summary, the lytic cycle destroys the host and produces new viruses quickly, while the lysogenic cycle involves integration and dormancy of the viral DNA in the host genome without immediate viral production or destruction of the host cell.

Answer 2

so what's the answer?

Answer 3

The correct answers to differentiate between the lysogenic and lytic cycles are:

• The host cell is destroyed during the lytic cycle.

This statement is true regarding the lytic cycle, as it results in the destruction of the host cell when new viruses are released.

The other responses you provided are inaccurate in the context of defining the key differences between the lysogenic and lytic cycles.
