Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which viral life cycle does the virus infect a host cell, replicates new virus parts, and lyses or bursts through the cell membrane. This viral cycle takes place within days of infection.
A
lytic
B
mitosis
C
lysogenic
D
S phase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lysogenic cycle, or non-virulent infection, involves the virus assimilating its genome with the host cell’s genome to achieve replication without killing the host.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first stage is entry. Entry involves attachment, in which a virus particle encounters the host cell and attaches to the cell surface, penetration, in which a virus particle reaches the cytoplasm, and uncoating, in which the virus sheds its capsid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Egress. The last stage of viral replication is the release of the new virions produced in the host organism. They are then able to infect adjacent cells and repeat the replication cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two processes used by viruses to replicate: the lytic cycle and lysogenic cycle. Some viruses reproduce using both methods, while others only use the lytic cycle. In the lytic cycle, the virus attaches to the host cell and injects its DNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -The lytic cycle involves the reproduction of viruses using a host cell to manufacture more viruses; the viruses then burst out of the cell. The lysogenic cycle involves the incorporation of the viral genome into the host cell genome, infecting it from within.
