lytic and lysogenic Flashcards
What is the lysogenic cycle?
A viral replication cycle that does not immediately destroy the host cell.
What is the lytic cycle?
a viral replication cycle that results in the destruction of the host cell.
What are the steps of the lysogenic cycle?
attachment, penetration, integration, replication, lytic cycle
What are the steps of the lytic cycle?
attachment, penetration, replication, assembly, lysis
attachment
The virus attaches to the host cell.
Penetration
The virus injects its genetic material into the host cell.
Replication
The viral genetic material is replicated by the host cell’s machinery.
Assembly
New viral particles are assembled inside the host cell.
Lysis
The host cell bursts, releasing the new viral particles.
Integration
The viral genetic material integrates into the host cell’s DNA, becoming a prophage.
