Question can progress to two possible after infecting the cell Which of the following is characteristic of the lysogenic ? a DNA takes over the host cell, making new viruses that burst out of the cell DNA is inserted into host DNA and is replicated when the cell divides enter the host cell and make copies of the host DNA RNA takes over the host cell making new host cells

1 answer

The characteristic of the lysogenic cycle is:

DNA is inserted into host DNA and is replicated when the cell divides.

In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA integrates into the host cell's DNA and can remain dormant for extended periods. When the host cell divides, it replicates the viral DNA along with its own, leading to the potential for future viral expression and the eventual transition to the lytic cycle if conditions become favorable.
