Question 17 • Biology - SC3209 IC

lyticlysogenic virus does not destroy host cell

Answer
A
lytic
B
lysogenic

Explanation

In the lysogenic cycle, the virus’s genetic material becomes part of the host cell’s DNA and can remain there without immediately killing the cell. In the lytic cycle, the virus reproduces and then breaks open the host cell. So the correct choice is lysogenic.
