Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The virus life cycle could be divided into six steps: attachment, penetration, uncoating, gene expression and replication, assembly, and release.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lytic Cycle With lytic phages, bacterial cells are broken open (lysed) and destroyed after immediate replication of the virion. As soon as the cell is destroyed, the phage progeny can find new hosts to infect. An example of a lytic bacteriophage is T4, which infects E. coli found in the human intestinal tract.
