Question

Under the right circumstances, the lysogenic cycle changes to the lytic cycle. Explain whether the lytic cycle can change to the lysogenic cycle.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - no it cant not change from the lytic cycle to the lysogenic cycle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the lysogenic cycle, phage DNA is fused into the host genome, where it is moved to the next generation with the host genome. Natural stressors, for example, exposure to toxic compounds or starvation may cause the prophage to extract and enter the lytic cycle where the virus burst or kill the host genome.

So, in the lytic cycle virus kills the host cell s there is no chance or need to change into the lysogenic cycle as whereas in the lysogenic cycle virus incorporated with the host and becomes a chromosome.
