What is the type of infection in which the host cell bursts and is destroyed?
lytic infection
What is a type of infection in which the host cell bursts and is destroyed?
lytic infection
Why is a lytic given that name?
Because its simular to a desperado.
Why is a lytic infection given that name?
Lytic refers to lysis which means separate in Greek. When a virus has replicated in a cell, the new viruses made in the cell cause the cell to separate or split open so the virus particles can get out and infect more cells and make more viruses.
An infection in which a virus makes copies of itself and causes the cell to burst is called what?
Lytic infection.
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.
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.
What is a viral infection that causes the host cell to burst and die in order for the newly synthesized virus to be released?
Lytic cycle
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.
What is lytic infection?
On an x-ray, lytic lesions are light areas found in otherwise dense bone. This suggests something has destroyed or replaced that part of bone. There are both cancerous and noncancerous causes of lytic lesions.
How does a bacteriophage enter a bacterial?
Through a lysogenic or lytic infection
How do virus benefit from inserting their genetic material into a host cell?
It all depends on the virus. It may be a lytic or a lysogenic infection. In a lytic infection, the virus inserts its DNA into host cell and replicate itself until the cell bursts and releases the new copies to infect other host cells. In a lysogenic infection, the virus inserts its DNA and gains control over the host cell, shutting it down and makes copies of itself like lytic infection, but the host cell does not burst.
