Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the basic viral replication cycles: lytic, lysogenic, latent, and persistent.
The lytic cycle is characterized by the destruction of the host cell. Viruses that follow this cycle replicate rapidly and cause the host cell to burst, releasing new viral particles.
In contrast, the lysogenic cycle involves the integration of viral DNA into the host genome, where it can remain dormant for a period without destroying the host cell.
The latent cycle is similar to the lysogenic cycle, where the virus remains inactive within the host cell for a time.
The persistent cycle involves the slow release of viral particles without causing immediate destruction of the host cell. Therefore, the lytic cycle is the one that leads to the destruction of host cells.
