Question

Select the best answer for the question.

16. 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 a virus to wait until conditions are
optimal before reproducing but also gives the host cell more time to
detect and fight the virus.
C. 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.
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
​

Answer 1

The lytic lifecycle allows viruses to reproduce more quickly but also kills the host and forces the virus to find a new host cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The Answer is likely A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Lysogenic cycle allows the virus to "live" within the genome of the cell and there it wait for the optimal time to replicate. The lytic cylce, allows the virus to replicate faster but it does kill the host.
