Lytic Cycle

Question 1

Spread of infection due to Lytic pathway

Answer 1

Virus particles leave the host and can spread through airborne droplets, allowing spread to another host

Question 2

Lytic cycle

Answer 2

Viruses cannot replicate outside a host. The virus binds to host cells and inserts genetic material into the host cell. They use the cells machinery to produce viral proteins and nucleic acids. Viral particles assemble and viruses exit the cell through the host cell membrane, causes lysis of the host cell.
