Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When a virus enters the cell, makes a copy of itself, causes the cell to burst ____
A
lytic cycle
B
calvin cycle
C
krebs cycle
D
lysogenic cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During lytic infection, a virus enters the host cell, makes a copy of itself, and causes the cell to burst, or lyse. In the video Virus Lytic Cycle, a bacteriophage, which is a virus that infects and replicates within a bacterium, attaches itself and infects the host cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the lytic cycle, a phage acts like a typical virus: it hijacks its host cell and uses the cell’s resources to make lots of new phages, causing the cell to lyse (burst) and die in the process.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the lytic cycle, the virus attaches to the host cell and injects its DNA. Using the host’s cellular metabolism, the viral DNA begins to replicate and form proteins. Then fully formed viruses assemble. These viruses break, or lyse, the cell and spread to other cells to continue the cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
