Which replicative cycle describes a virus that can integrate its genome into the host cell's genome? view available hint(s) which replicative cycle describes a virus that can integrate its genome into the host cell's genome? lysogenic viral lytic mutagenic?

I believe the answer is Lysogenic. Lysogenic cycle is one of the two cycles of virus reproduction. It is characterized by integration of the bacteriophage nucleic acid into the host bacterium's genome or formations of a circular replicon in the bacterial cytoplasm. The other cycle is the lytic cycle.

The answer is lysogenic. The prophage of the virus, in lysogenic cycle, replicate with the host cells, without necessarily destroying the host cell. Therefore, the daughter cells of the host cells will have the integrated viral genome (prophage). However, the lytic cycle, the other viral cycle, involves the quick manufacture of viral proteins, and assembly, even when the host cell is not dividing, that accumulate and cause the host cell to lyse/burst.
