In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA or RNA enters the cell and integrates into the host DNA as a new set of genes called prophage. That is, the viral DNA becomes part of the cell's genetic material. It does not destroy the host cell.

In what cycle of the viral replication does the virus the host cell?

During the cycle of viral shedding, the virus has made copies of itself and the host cell is no longer useful. The host cell then dies, and the new virus cells then must find a new host.


Does a lysogenic virus inject their DNA into the host cell?

No, a lysogenic virus integrates its DNA into the host cell's genome instead of injecting it. This integrated viral DNA, called a prophage, replicates along with the host cell's DNA.


What are the difference between reproduction by the lytic and lysogenic cycles?

The lytic cycle involves the immediate replication of the virus and eventual destruction of the host cell, while the lysogenic cycle involves the integration of the virus's genetic material into the host cell's genome, leading to longer-term dormancy. Lytic cycle results in rapid production of new viral particles, while lysogenic cycle allows the virus to replicate along with the host cell's DNA until a trigger induces the lytic cycle.


How can you relate this illustration to how the lysogenic cycle differs from the lytic cycle?

In the illustration, the lysogenic cycle is like a dormant phase where the virus's genetic material is integrated into the host cell's DNA, while the lytic cycle is like an active phase where the virus replicates and destroys the host cell. This shows how the lysogenic cycle differs from the lytic cycle in terms of their impact on the host cell and the timing of viral replication.

When a virus enters a cell it?

When a virus enters a cell, it injects its genetic material into the cell. The virus then hijacks the cell’s machinery to replicate itself, producing more virus particles. This process can ultimately lead to cell death and the spread of the virus to other cells in the body.


How is a lysogenic virus different from a lytic virus?

Unlike lytic viruses, lysogenic viruses do NOT lyse the host cell right away where as lytic cells do.


Does SARS go through a lytic or a lysogenic cycle?

The virus that causes AIDS, HIV, is lytic in nature. Once it attaches itself into a host cell, it will go about integrating its genetic material into the host cell and use its machinery to force the cell to make copies of the virus. Additionally, the viral cell will kill the host cell in the process.

An infection in which DNA of a virus is embedded into a host cell and replicates with host DNA is called what?

This process is called lysogeny, and the host cell is referred to as a lysogenic cell. The integrated viral DNA is known as a prophage.


Which virus would infect cells and be able to produce more virus particles?

Some viruses have a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle. The difference in these two cycles is that the cell dies at the end of the lytic cycle or the cell remains in the lysogenic cycle. The virus remains "hidden".


What happens during the lysogenic cycle of a viral infection?

During the lysogenic cycle, the virus inserts its genetic material into the host cell's genome and remains dormant. The host cell continues to replicate normally, passing the viral genetic material onto its daughter cells. When conditions are favorable, the lysogenic cycle can transition into the lytic cycle, where the virus becomes active and starts to replicate, eventually causing the host cell to burst and release new viral particles.


Type of infection in which a host cell makes copies of the virus indefintely?

The Lysogenic Cycle. The virus' DNA will integrate itself into the host cell's own DNA, such that the cell will continue to make copies of the virus for as long as it survives (and if it passes down its DNA to daughter cells).


What are two ways a virus can enter a host cell?

Viruses can cause lytic infections or lysogenic infections. When a virus enters a cell to make copies of itself, causing the cell to rupture, that is called a lytic infection. A lysogenic infection is where a virus incorporates itself into the DNA of the cell it invades and replicates its genetic code.


What is a virus called which enters a cell and remains inactive for long periods of time?

A virus that remains inactive for a time is said to be lysogenic.
