Perhaps the imminent death of the host cell could trigger the lysis, or just any change in conditions that would be programed into the virus DNA that would trigger the exit from the host.

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.


What are temperate phages?

Temperate phages are bacteriophages that can follow two replication pathways: lytic and lysogenic. In the lytic cycle, they infect a bacterial host and replicate rapidly, causing cell lysis. In the lysogenic cycle, they integrate their DNA into the host genome, replicating along with the host without causing immediate cell lysis.


What are two ways that phage can replicate in harmony with their host?

Phages can replicate in harmony with their host by entering a lysogenic cycle, where they integrate their DNA into the host genome and replicate passively with the host. Alternatively, phages can undergo a lytic cycle, where they replicate quickly and burst the host cell to release progeny phages without causing host cell death.


Does cowpox go through lytic or lysogenic cycles?

Smallpox goes through a lytic cycle as it does not become dormant.


What does it mean for a virus to have a lysogenic reproductive cycle?

The lysogenic cycle replicates the phage genome without destroying the host. Similar to Lytic reproduction, Lysogenic also begins when the phage inserts its DNA or RNA into the host cell through its surface. Once the nucleic acid is inside the cell, it forms a circle, and becomes a part of the genome of the host cell. It does this through genetic recombination, or crossing over. Once it joins the host’s genome, it is called a prophage. Since it is a part of the host cell’s genome, the phage’s genetic information is copied and distributed to the daughter cells of the host cell, which continues dividing naturally. This allows the prophage to be repeatedly copied and passed on without destroying the host cell it depends on for metabolic and reproduction purposes. In order for actual active phages to be produced, the segment of genome from the original phage exits the genome of the host cell and becomes independent. When this occurs, it begins the lytic cycle, destroying the cell, but producing new and functional phages.

What do you call a bacteriophage when it is in a lysogenic cycle?

Phages that replicate only via the lytic cycle are known as virulent phages while phages that replicate using both lytic and lysogenic cycles are known as temperate phages.


How are the lytic cycle and lysogenic cycl diffrent?

Phages have lytic or lysogenic cycle to reproduce themself.Phages that have lytic life cycle it kill bacteria after new progenicy of phages are relaset from host bacteria.Phages with lysogenic cyclel it integrate their DNA to the host bacteria.However, when bacteria that carry genetic material of lysogenic phages are posed to stress can switch to the lytitic cycle to produce a new progeny of pahages.


Phages or viruses that go through the lysogenic virus cycle?

Phages are also known as bacteriophages which are viruses. They are specifically viruses that attack bacteria. Depending on the species, some viruses incorporate their DNA in to the host's genome. These viruses are known as proviruses because they can go through the lysogenic cycle.

Is hepatitis C lysogenic or lytic?

Hepatitis C goes through an un-known cycle. I am about 60% sure that it is the lytic cycle since it causes Iver disease, although i do not know for sure.
