Two possible phases may occur. In a lytic phase, the viral DNA commands the reproduction of numerous more viral copies. Upon the production of a sufficient population of viruses within the cell's membrane, the virus break the cell membrane, destroying the cell The lysogenic phase occurs when the viral nucleic acid is incorporated into the cellular genome. Then the cell reproduces as a hybrid cell, also reproducin the viral nucleic acid. This phase is less harmful to the host cell, while it still allows for the onset of the lytic phase. In other words: Lytic phase: more virus bodies and cellular destruction Lysogenic phase: Viral genome is integrated into cellular DNA and reproduced by regular division. Cell is not necesarily harmed but could still result in Lytic phase.

What is the Nucleic acid core definition?

a core is The part of a nuclear reactor where binary fission occurs.Some viruses contain DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)and other viruses contain RNA (ribonucleic acid). Either of these molecules is responsible for the primary qualities of life that viruses display while inside host cells. The nucleic acids are genetic instructions for viral activity and reproduction.
