1. True. Both lysogenic and lytic cycle cause the host cell to burst and release new viruses. The difference is the lysogenic cycle has the viral dna insert into the host dna then a period of dormancy before creating viral proteins. 2.true. The spot test method can be used to give you a yes or no (positive or negative) to the presence of bacteriophages but it does not tell you a quantity so it is qualitative information.
