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

Question

Responses

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

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

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

Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA can integrate into the host's DNA, allowing the virus to replicate along with the host cell's division. In contrast, the lytic cycle leads to the production of new viral particles and the lysis (bursting) of the host cell, but does not involve the integration of the viral genome into the host genome.
