Answer 1

The correct summary of the lytic cycle is: A virus injects its genetic material into the host cell, copies itself, and then forms new viruses that burst out of the host cell.

This accurately describes the process where a virus takes over a host cell to replicate and ultimately causes the cell to release new viral particles.
