In the context of virology, how does the Lambda Bacteriophage decide whether to enter the lysogenic or lytic cycle upon infecting E. coli?
The decision is based on the host cell's nutritional status.
It depends on a random mutation within the bacteriophage DNA.
The bacteriophage assesses environmental conditions such as temperature and pH.
It is determined by a coin-toss mechanism inherent in its genetic structure.
