Question

question 19
viruses can progress to two possible scenarios after infecting the host cell. which of the following is characteristic of the lysogenic cycle?
o a viral dna is inserted into host dna, and is replicated when the cell divides.
o b viral rna takes over the host cell, making new host cells.
o c viral dna takes over the host cell, making new viruses that burst out of the cell.
o d viruses enter the host cell, and rapidly make copies of the host dna.

Explanation:

The lysogenic cycle involves viral DNA integrating into host DNA and replicating with host cell division.

Answer:

a. Viral DNA is inserted into host DNA, and is replicated when the cell divides.
