Question

In which of the following cycles is the viral genome integrated into the host DNA?O Lytic cycleO Lysogenic cycleO Both the lytic and lysogenic cyclesO None of the choices

Answer 1

The kind of viral cycle in which the viral genome is integrated into the DNA of the host is known as the lysogenic cycle (second answer option), and this is reached by the antigen by releasing its DNA in form of the plasmid into the cell cytoplasm, and this eventually will be merged with the genetic material of the cell. We can see an example of this in the following pictures:
