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

neither the lytic nor the lysogenic cycle
neither the lytic nor the lysogenic cycle

only the lytic cycle
only the lytic cycle

both the lysogenic and lytic cycles
both the lysogenic and lytic cycles

only the lysogenic cycle

Answer 1

The correct response is only the lytic cycle. The lytic cycle results in the death of the host cell as newly replicated viruses are released from the cell when it bursts (lyses). In contrast, the lysogenic cycle involves the integration of viral DNA into the host's genome without killing the host cell immediately.
