Identify the viral life cycle that results in the death of the cell due to newly replicated virus bursting from the cell.(1 point)

Question

Responses

both the lysogenic and lytic cycles
both the lysogenic and lytic cycles - no response given

only the lytic cycle
only the lytic cycle - no response given

only the lysogenic cycle
only the lysogenic cycle - no response given

neither the lytic nor the lysogenic cycle

Answer 1

The correct response is only the lytic cycle.

In the lytic cycle, the virus infects a host cell, replicates within it, and then causes the cell to burst (lysis), releasing new virions. The lysogenic cycle, on the other hand, integrates the viral genome into the host's DNA and does not immediately result in cell death.
