Question

The end result of the viral lytic cycle is

a. lysis of the infected cell
b. immunity of the host cell to further viral infection
c. the release of new viruses
d. both A and B
e. both A and C

Answer 1

e, both A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

The lytic life cycle ends when the virus load is expelled from the host cell. But, to be released, the virus have to escape from the host cell's plastic membrane, usually by changing the osmotic change, and making it explode.

This releases the viruses into the extracellular matrix, allowing them to infect other tissue cells.
