Question

two models, process a and process b, are shown here as two different potential pathways for viral replication. evaluate the statements below and select all of the statements that are supported by the processes modeled here. a process b occurs over a shorter period of time than process a. b process a is a lytic cycle that results in the host cell’s death. c process a allows for a more efficient replication of the viral genome. d both processes involve a viral genome being replicated inside of a host cell. e process b allows the viral genome to be dormant and reside within the host’s genome.

Explanation:

Process A shows viral replication producing many viruses (steps 1-6) and likely lysing the host cell (consistent with lytic cycle, B). Process B shows viral genome integration (step 8) then replication with host (dormant phase, E). Both require host cell genome replication (D). No time data supports A; efficiency isn’t shown for C.

Answer:

B. Process A is a lytic cycle that results in the host cell’s death, D. Both processes involve a viral genome being replicated inside of a host cell, E. Process B allows the viral genome to be dormant and reside within the host’s genome.
