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

Question

Distinguish between the lytic and lysogenic cycles of viruses.(1 point) 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 viral genome is only injected into the cell during the lytic cycle. The viral genome is only injected into the cell during the lytic cycle. 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.

Answer 1

The first statement is incorrect. The viral genome incorporates into the host genome during the lysogenic cycle, not the lytic cycle.

The second statement is correct. The viral genome is only injected into the cell during the lytic cycle, not the lysogenic cycle.

The third statement is incorrect. The lysogenic cycle does not involve newly replicated virus bursting from the cell.

The fourth statement is correct. The lytic cycle involves the merging together of the viral and host genomes.
