Question

Which of the following statements is true?

In the lysogenic cycle, the virus uses the host cell to make new viral parts.
In the lytic cycle, the virus hides in the host’s DNA.
Stress can cause a virus to switch from the lytic cycle to the lysogenic cycle.
Stress can cause a virus to switch from the lysogenic cycle to the lytic cycle.

Answer 1

Stress can cause a virus to switch from the lysogenic cycle to the lytic cycle.

Answer 2

Answer:Option d

Explanation:

The virus cannot live in the environment without the host cell. They need the host cell for their survival.The virus incorporates its genetic material in the genetic material of the host cell to live. They opt for lytic cycle or lysogenic cycle.

Due to environmental stressors such as the starvation or exposure to chemicals may cause the virus to switch from the lysogenic cycle to lytic cycle.
