Detailed explanation-1: -Lytic Cycle – One of two methods of viral reproduction, in which DNA is replicated and capsid cases are made to carry it. Induction – The process by which viral DNA is switched from the lysogenic cycle to the lytic cycle.
Detailed explanation-2: -The lysogenic cycle: The phage infects a bacterium and inserts its DNA into the bacterial chromosome, allowing the phage DNA (now called a prophage) to be copied and passed on along with the cell’s own DNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -Latent Infection There are viruses that are capable of remaining hidden or dormant inside the cell in a process called latency. These types of viruses are known as latent viruses and may cause latent infections.
Detailed explanation-4: -An example of a virus that uses the lysogenic cycle to its advantage is the Herpes Simplex Virus. After first entering the lytic cycle and infecting a human host, it enters the lysogenic cycle.
