Question
in which of the following types of infection will the infected host cell burst?lysogenic infection lytic infection prophage infection provirus infection
In a lytic infection, the virus enters the host cell, replicates its genetic material, assembles new virus particles, and then causes the host cell to burst (lysis) to release the new viruses. In lysogenic infection, the viral DNA integrates with the host cell's DNA and replicates along with it without immediately causing cell lysis. A prophage is the viral DNA integrated in the host cell during lysogenic cycle. A provirus is viral DNA integrated in a eukaryotic cell (like in HIV infection), and it doesn't cause immediate cell lysis.
