Question

In the _______ cycle, a virus integrates its DNA into the host's DNA, and its DNA is replicated when the host DNA is replicated.

A. lysogenic
B. infectious
C. retroviral
D. lytic

Answer 1

The answer would be A. lysogenic.

In the lysogenic cycle, a virus integrates its DNA into the host's DNA, and its DNA is replicated when the host DNA is replicated.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A. "lysogenic".

Step-by-step explanation:

During a viral infection, the virus uses different cycles of reproduction to achieve its goal of replicating itself inside a host organism. In the lysogenic cycle the virus integrate its DNA into the host genome, using the host replication system to replicate its own DNA along with the DNA of the host. During this cycle the host continues to live and reproduce normally as no pathogenicity is still evident from the virus.
