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 does virus host range mean?

Virus host range refers to the range of organisms or cell types that a particular virus can infect. Some viruses have a broad host range and can infect multiple species, while others have a narrow host range and can only infect specific hosts. The host range is determined by factors such as the virus's ability to enter host cells and replicate within them.

Why do proteins establish the host range of a virus?

It all depends on what you mean by your question. Both the host cell and the virus have proteins that must match for the virus to enter the cell. The more these match, the greater number of species of plants and animals that will be affected.
