Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between a lytic and a lysogenic infection in the context of viral replication?

Both lytic and lysogenic infections result in the immediate destruction of the host cell.

In a lytic infection, the virus causes the host cell to burst and release new viral particles, whereas in a lysogenic infection, the viral DNA integrates into the host genome and replicates with it.

In a lysogenic infection, the virus immediately begins to replicate and destroy the host cell, while in a lytic infection, the virus remains dormant within the host genome.

In a lytic infection, the virus integrates its DNA into the host genome, while in a lysogenic infection, the virus replicates independently of the host cell.

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the basic definitions: A lytic infection is a type of viral replication cycle where the virus takes over the host cell's machinery to replicate itself, eventually causing the host cell to burst (lyse) and release new viral particles. A lysogenic infection involves the integration of viral DNA into the host cell's genome, where it can remain dormant for a period before potentially entering the lytic cycle.

Identify the key differences: In a lytic infection, the virus actively replicates and causes the destruction of the host cell. In contrast, during a lysogenic infection, the viral DNA is incorporated into the host's DNA and can replicate along with the host cell without causing immediate harm.

Evaluate the statements: The first statement is incorrect because lysogenic infections do not result in the immediate destruction of the host cell. The second statement correctly describes the lytic and lysogenic cycles. The third statement is incorrect because it reverses the roles of lytic and lysogenic infections. The fourth statement is incorrect because it misrepresents the integration and replication processes of the two types of infections.

Focus on the correct description: The correct statement is that in a lytic infection, the virus causes the host cell to burst and release new viral particles, whereas in a lysogenic infection, the viral DNA integrates into the host genome and replicates with it.

Summarize the key point: The main difference between lytic and lysogenic infections is the immediate destruction of the host cell in the lytic cycle versus the integration and dormancy of viral DNA in the lysogenic cycle.
