Question

For a virus, what advantages and disadvantages does the lytic lifecycle have compared with the lysogenic lifecycle? 

A. The lytic lifecycle allows viruses to reproduce more quickly but also kills the host and forces the virus to find a new host cell.  B. The lytic lifecycle allows viruses to reproduce when the host cell reproduces, spreading to its daughter cells, but also gives the host cell more time to detect and fight the virus.  C. The lytic lifecycle allows a virus to wait until conditions are optimal before reproducing but also gives the host cell more time to detect and fight the virus.  D. The lytic lifecycle ensures that the virus won't be detected by the host cell but also kills the host and forces the virus to find a new host cell. ​

Answer 1

answer is B) the lytic lifecycle allows a virus to reproduce when the host cell reproduces, spreading to its daughter cells, but also gives the host cell more time to detect and fight the virus.

Answer 2

Option (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

Lytic cycle is a type of viral reproduction cycle. During lytic cycle, virus replicates inside the host cell separately from host and makes any progeny.

It results in destruction of host organism (infected bacterium) as new progeny of virus are released by destruction of plasma membrane. Lytic cycle is more quick than the lysogenic cycle.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
