d. involves a virus and its nucleic acid.

Answer 1

Unlike a lytic infection, a lysogenic infection requires a virus to insert its nucleic acid into a host cell’s DNA. The answer is letter A. Once it is inserted, the normal DNA replicates along with the host DNA. The normal DNA will become inactive and thus permitting the host DNA to continue it normal process.
