Question

use the diagram below to answer the question.
what viral cycle is shown in the diagram?
○ lysogenic
○ transduction
○ binary fission
○ lytic

Explanation:

The lytic cycle is a viral reproductive cycle where the virus infects a host cell, replicates its genetic material, assembles new virus particles, and then lyses (bursts) the host cell to release the new viruses. This matches the general process depicted in the diagram. The lysogenic cycle involves the virus integrating its DNA into the host's genome without immediately lysing the cell. Transduction is a process of genetic transfer in bacteria (not a viral cycle). Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes (not a viral cycle).

Answer:

Lytic
