Summarize the lytic cycle. (1 point)

Question

• A virus lays eggs on the host cell's protein coat, which then hatch and move on to infect other cells.
A virus injects its genetic material into the host cell, copies itself, and then forms new viruses that burst out of the host cell.
The viral DNA incorporates itself with the host cell's and replicates whenever the host cell replicates
• A virus copies its genetic material and then splits its cell membranes in half to form identical viruses.

Answer 1

The lytic cycle involves a virus injecting its genetic material into a host cell, which then replicates the virus's components and assembles new viruses that ultimately cause the host cell to burst, releasing the new viruses to infect other cells.
