Detailed explanation-1: -The answer is C) A large number of phages are released at a time. The bacteriophage, or phage for short, is thought to be the most abundant entity on the planet. There are more phages on Earth than any other organism combined including bacteria.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a lytic cycle, the virus introduces its genome into a host cell and initiates replication by hijacking the host’s cellular machinery to make new copies of the virus. Once infection is complete, the newly replicated and assembled virus particles are released through lysis of the host cell into the surrounding waters.
Detailed explanation-3: -Phages that replicate only via the lytic cycle are known as virulent phages while phages that replicate using both lytic and lysogenic cycles are known as temperate phages.
