Many viruses enter the lytic cycle immediately following infecting the host cell. However, some viruses may not lyse their host immediately and enter the lysogenic cycle. At the start of the lysogenic cycle, the virus genome is integrated into the host chromosome instead of being immediately transcribed and translated. The virus genome then lies dormant in the host chromosome until a later event triggers its excision from the host chromosome. The excised viral genome will then be transcribed and translated and the virus enters the lytic cycle.

the virus hides in the host's DNA.

What are the 3 stes of lysogenic infection?

The three stages of lysogenic infection are attachment, insertion (integration) of viral DNA into host DNA, and replication of the viral DNA along with host DNA.


What type of infections pathway is associated with a prophage or provirus?

Lysogenic pathway is associated with a prophage or provirus infection. In this pathway, the genetic material of the virus gets integrated into the host cell's DNA and remains dormant until it is triggered to enter the lytic pathway.


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.


Which events occurs in the lytic cycle of bacteriophage T4 infection but not in the lysogenic cycle?

In the lytic cycle of bacteriophage T4 infection, the viral DNA takes control of the host cell machinery to replicate and assemble new viruses, leading to cell lysis and release of viral particles. This process does not involve integration of the viral DNA into the host genome, which is a key characteristic of the lysogenic cycle.


During which portion of the infection cycle shown in the diagram does the host begin to show symptoms of viral infection?

Symptoms of viral infection typically begin during the replication and spread phase of the infection cycle, when the virus has replicated enough to start causing damage to the host cells and triggering immune responses that lead to symptoms.

What is true about lysogenic infection?

Infection of the host cell then leading to recombination to the host cell's DNA.


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.

Lysogenic Cycle.


What are two ways that viruses cause infections?

The two ways that viruses cause infection are by lytic infection and lysogenic infection. The virus can enter into a cell, make a copy of itself and the cause the cell to burst in a lytic infection. When a virus embeds its DNA into the DNA of a host cell and replicates, it is a lysogenic infection.

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).


HOW DOES A lysogenic infection help virus spread?

I don't know if this is what you are lookding for but here is what happens with a bacteriophage (a virus that infects bacteria) In a lysogenic infection the bactierophage DNA will insert itself into the bacterial chromosome and may replicate with the bacterium for many generations. (inactive) The bacteriohpage DNA can then exit the bacterial chromosome. If it does this then it can enter the LYTIC cycle.
