Answer 1

True. External factors such as stress, UV light, or certain chemicals can trigger the viral DNA to exit the host genome and enter the lytic cycle. In this cycle, the virus actively replicates, leading to the production of new viral particles and often resulting in the lysis (destruction) of the host cell. This is in contrast to the lysogenic cycle, where the viral DNA is integrated into the host genome and remains dormant.
