Question 1 • Biology - SC3209 IC

Which is included in a lysogenic cycle?

Answer
A
early lysis of the host cell
B
the production and assembly of viral particles
C
the appearance of viral infection symptoms
D
a period of genetic integration

Explanation

In the lysogenic cycle, viral genetic material integrates into the host cell’s DNA and can remain there for a period without immediately destroying the cell. Early lysis and the production and assembly of many viral particles are characteristic of the lytic cycle, so the correct choice is “a period of genetic integration.”
