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.
What is the last step of a Lytic Cycle?
The last step in the lytic cycle is that new viruses begin to be made
Unlike lytic viruses lysogenic viruses do what?
lyse the host cell right away
What diseases may lytic viruses cause?
Any type of viral infection is caused by lytic viruses. These types of infections include pneumonia, influenza, and the common cold.
Does the Norwalk virus have a Lytic or Lysogenic cycle?
The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can. It is lytic and is considered virulent as many lytic viruses are. Most bacteriophages are lysogenic. See link below:
How are viruses spread cell to cell?
New viruses are released after the lytic cycle. ~Gradpoint/Novanet
What is the two different lifecycles exhibited by viruses?
The two different lifecycles of viruses are Lytic and Lysogenic
Do Active viruses enter a cell and immediatley begin to multiply?
The easiest way to understand how viruses replicate is to study the life cycles of viruses called bacteriophages (bacteria eaters). Bacteriophages replicate by either 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".
Does the avian flu have a lytic or lysogenic cycle?
I believe it is lytic. Think: colds are fast acting; they don't sit in your cell for years on end. This means they are lytic (fast acting).
Does pneumonia go through lysogenic or lytic cylcle?
Yes and no pneumonia can be also caused by viruses and is mostly the lytic cycle!
How are viruses spread from cell to cell?
New viruses are released after the lytic cycle. ~Gradpoint/Novanet
What word is the cycle of infection in which more viruses are produced and the host cell is destroyed?
The lytic cycle of infection occurs when more viruses are produced and the host cell is destroyed. This is the phenomenon that occurs in viral illnesses.
