Which is true about the lytic and lysogenic cycles of viruses?(1 point)

Question

Responses

The lysogenic cycle involves newly replicated virus bursting from the cell.
The lysogenic cycle involves newly replicated virus bursting from the cell.

The lytic cycle involves the merging together of the viral and host genomes.
The lytic cycle involves the merging together of the viral and host genomes.

The viral genome is injected into the cell only during the lytic cycle.
The viral genome is injected into the cell only during the lytic cycle.

The viral genome incorporates into the host genome during the lysogenic cycle.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

The viral genome incorporates into the host genome during the lysogenic cycle.

In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA integrates into the host cell's genome and can remain dormant for some time, whereas in the lytic cycle, the virus replicates and causes the host cell to burst, releasing new viral particles.
