The lytic cycle of viral replication typically includes several key steps. Here are the main steps involved:
- Attachment: The virus attaches to a specific host cell through receptors on the cell's surface.
- Penetration: The viral genome is injected into the host cell or the entire virus enters the cell.
- Biosynthesis: The host cell's machinery is hijacked to synthesize viral proteins and replicate the viral genome.
- Assembly: New viral particles (virions) are assembled from the synthesized components.
- Lysis (Release): The host cell is lysed (destroyed) to release the new virions, which can then infect other cells.
If you have a specific set of options to choose from, please provide them, and I can help identify the correct typical step in the lytic cycle.
