what is true about the lytic and lysogenic cycles of viral replication
viral dna is inserted into the host dna in the lytic cycle only
cell lysis occurs in both the lytic and lysogenic cycle
the lysogenic cycle occurs faster than the lytic cycle
viral dna is inserted into the host dna in the lysogenic cycle only
the lytic cycle enters a state of dormancy

Explanation:

In the lysogenic cycle, viral DNA integrates into the host DNA. In the lytic cycle, the virus hijacks the host cell to produce new viruses and causes cell lysis. The lytic cycle is generally faster and doesn't enter dormancy. Cell lysis only occurs in the lytic cycle.

Answer:

D. viral DNA is inserted into the host DNA in the lysogenic cycle only
