Distinguish between the
lytic and lysogenic cycles of
viruses. (1 point)
The lysogenic
cycle involves
newly
replicated
virus bursting
from the cell.
The lytic
cycle involves
the
merging toget
her of the viral
and host
genomes.
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 lysogenic cycle involves the viral genome incorporating into the host genome, while the lytic cycle involves the viral genome being only injected into the cell. The lysogenic cycle also involves newly replicated viruses bursting from the cell, while the lytic cycle involves the merging together of the viral and host genomes.

I apologize for the incorrect response. Here is the correct information:
The lytic cycle is a viral replication process in which the virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to produce new viruses. This cycle involves the injection of the viral genome into the host cell, which then directs the cell to produce viral proteins and replicate the viral genome. Eventually, the host cell bursts, releasing the newly formed viruses.
On the other hand, the lysogenic cycle is a viral replication process in which the viral genome integrates into the host cell's genome. Instead of immediately replicating and causing the host cell to burst, the viral genetic material becomes dormant and remains within the host cell's genome. This integrated viral genome is called a prophage or provirus. It may remain dormant for an extended period, with the host cell replicating normally and passing on the viral genes to its daughter cells during cell division. At some point, the lysogenic cycle may transition into the lytic cycle, triggering the release of new viral particles and destruction of the host cell.
