Multiple Choice

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

The lysogenic cycle is characterized by rapid viral replication, whereas the lytic cycle involves slow replication.

The lysogenic cycle leads to immediate production of new viral particles, while the lytic cycle involves a dormant phase.

The lytic cycle results in the destruction of the host cell, while the lysogenic cycle integrates the viral DNA into the host genome without immediate destruction.

The lytic cycle occurs only in prokaryotic cells, whereas the lysogenic cycle occurs only in eukaryotic cells.

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the key characteristics of the lytic cycle: In the lytic cycle, the virus takes over the host cell's machinery to replicate its genetic material and produce new viral particles, leading to the lysis (destruction) of the host cell.

Identify the key characteristics of the lysogenic cycle: In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA is integrated into the host cell's genome and replicates along with it without causing immediate harm to the host cell. The virus can remain dormant for an extended period.

Compare the outcomes of both cycles: The lytic cycle results in the immediate destruction of the host cell, whereas the lysogenic cycle allows the host cell to survive and continue dividing with the viral DNA integrated into its genome.

Clarify the misconception about replication speed: The lytic cycle is characterized by rapid replication and destruction of the host cell, while the lysogenic cycle involves a dormant phase where the virus is not actively replicating.

Address the misconception about cell types: Both the lytic and lysogenic cycles can occur in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, depending on the type of virus involved.
