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.


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".


How is a lytic cycle different from a lysogenic cycle?

The lysogenic cycle incorporates its DNA into the cells DNA, lets the cell resume normal growth by reproduction, so that all the cells have viral DNA and lyse to produce more viruses than ever. The lyctic cycle merely infects and lyses one cell at a time.


Viruses reproduce by what process?

The Lytic Cycle or by Budding without lysis. See the related questions below for more information.


How lytic cycle is more efficient?

The only thing the lytic cycle is more efficient in is killing the cell. The lytic cycle is when the initiation of making lots of bacteria copies begin. Once complete, the cell bursts and the virus products will scatter and infect other cells.


Why did Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase chose bacteriophage as their virus?

Because it infects bacteria and uses it as a factory to replicate and create more bacteriophage. T2 Bacteriophage undergoes lytic life cycle and NOT lysogenic life cycle


What is one reason a virus that spends long time in the lysogenic cycle could be more dangerous to humans than a virus that does not?

Anal warts


What effect will a virus in the lytic cycle have on in organism?

It is in the "reproduction" process when in the lytic cycle, so the effect will be that the virus will force the organism to replicate more and more "baby" viruses. The host cells will eventually die or be killed when it splits open (or buds) to release the new virus particles. The new particles will infect more and more cells of the host, killing the host's cells each time they split, making the host feel sicker and sicker until their defense systems figure out how to kill the viruses.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.


What happens at the end of lytic cycle?

The last step in the lytic cycle is that new viruses begin to be made


Why is a virus's reproductions cycle called the lytic cycle?

Lysis means cut open or split, the word lytic comes from lysis. In the lytic cycle, the host cells that have been infected by a virus will fill up with new viruses until they gets too full and then they split open to release the new viral particles, and the cell dies. See more about the lytic cycle in the related questions below.
