Lysogenic viruses are so dangerous because they don't strike right away, so they could strike at any moment.

The lysogenic virus is dangerous because it is present in the primary cell and its daughter cells. The primary cell will continue to divide and and the daughter cells will all contain that virus. This is dangerous because if the virus were to activate, it would be present in many cells.

Which virus would infect cells and be able to produce more virus particles?

Some viruses have a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle. The difference in these two cycles is that the cell dies at the end of the lytic cycle or the cell remains in the lysogenic cycle. The virus remains "hidden".


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.


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.

When a virus enters a cell it?

When a virus enters a cell, it injects its genetic material into the cell. The virus then hijacks the cell’s machinery to replicate itself, producing more virus particles. This process can ultimately lead to cell death and the spread of the virus to other cells in the body.


Viruses reproduce by what process?

The Lytic Cycle or by Budding without lysis. See the related questions below for more information.


What effect will a virus in the lytic cycle have on in organism?

It is in the "reproduction" process when in the lytic cycle, so the effect will be that the virus will force the organism to replicate more and more "baby" viruses. The host cells will eventually die or be killed when it splits open (or buds) to release the new virus particles. The new particles will infect more and more cells of the host, killing the host's cells each time they split, making the host feel sicker and sicker until their defense systems figure out how to kill the viruses.The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can. It is lytic and is considered virulent.


Is Ebola lytic or lysocenic?

Lytic. Lysogenic viruses typically encode themselves into the cell's DNA (Example: HIV uses a viral-encoded reverse transcriptase to do so), Ebola typically bursts from the cells via apoptosis and/or pyroptosis. Lysogens typically reside in the cell for long periods of time, sometimes budding off virions. Lytic viruses typically use the cell's machinery to make as many virions as possible and burst the cell open in order to spread to more host cells.

What happens at the end of lytic cycle?

The last step in the lytic cycle is that new viruses begin to be made


How lytic cycle is more efficient?

The only thing the lytic cycle is more efficient in is killing the cell. The lytic cycle is when the initiation of making lots of bacteria copies begin. Once complete, the cell bursts and the virus products will scatter and infect other cells.


Process by which a molecule of DNA is copied into strand of RNA?

Either the Lysogenic or the Lytic cycle. LYSOGENIC: Virus inserts DNA and the DNA goes to the nucleus and weaves itself with the DNA strand of the cell. During cell division, the virus' DNA is also copied. When a certain thing occurs to the body, such as radiation, all those cells with the virus DNA start making viruses. LYTIC: Virus inserts DNA and the DNA goes to the nucleus and weaves itself with the DNA strand. The nucleus then directs the manufacturing of many virus parts. The parts are then put together inside the cell and when there are too many viruses, the cell with explode. The new viruses that have just been made go to insert more DNA into other unfortunate cells.
