Question

1. in which reproductive cycle does viral dna integrate with the host dna?

lysogenic cycle
life cycle
lytic cycle
apoptosis cycle

Explanation:

• In the lysogenic cycle, viral DNA integrates with the host DNA. It remains dormant within the host genome, replicating along with the host cell's DNA during cell division.
• In the lytic cycle, the virus immediately takes over the host cell's machinery to produce new virus particles, leading to cell lysis.
• The "life cycle" is a general term and not specific to the process of viral DNA integration.
• Apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death and is not related to viral DNA integration with host DNA.

Answer:

lysogenic cycle
