Question
what is the primary difference between the lytic and lysogenic cycle?
method of viral replication
infectivity of viral replication
location of viral genome
attachment method of the virus
In the lytic cycle, the virus replicates immediately, causing the host cell to lyse. In the lysogenic cycle, the viral genome integrates with the host genome and replicates along with it without immediate cell lysis. The key difference lies in the method of viral replication - one is immediate and lytic, the other is integrated and lysogenic.
