Lytic Cycle

Either A or B

None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -During the lytic cycle of virulent phage, the bacteriophage takes over the cell, reproduces new phages, and destroys the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lytic cycle occurs quickly and progeny virus particles are produced. Lytic cycle does not follow the lysogenic cycle.
Detailed explanation-3: -With lytic phages, bacterial cells are broken open (lysed) and destroyed after immediate replication of the virion.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
