Viruses can progress to two possible scenarios after infecting the host cell. Which of the following is characteristic of the lysogenic cycle?
What is a virus? How do they spread? How do they make us sick?
a
Viral DNA is inserted into host DNA, and is replicated when the cell divides.
b
Viral DNA takes over the host cell, making new viruses that burst out of the cell.
c
Viral RNA takes over the host cell, making new host cells.
d
Viruses enter the host cell, and rapidly make copies of the host DNA.
a
Viral DNA is inserted into host DNA, and is replicated when the cell divides.
The characteristic of the lysogenic cycle is:
a) Viral DNA is inserted into host DNA, and is replicated when the cell divides.
