Question

What usually happens to the host’s DNA during the lytic cycle? It is destroyed. It is integrated with the viral DNA. It becomes a provirus. It is deactivated.

Answer 1

It is destroyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lytic cycle is a cycle present in viral reproduction. In this cycle, a virus in contact with a host cell, manages to insert its genetic DNA into the cell causing the cell to metabolize it and start working for it. After the viral DNA is metabolized and multiplied, the virus releases its viruses through the complete destruction of the host cell.

With this, we can say that during the execution of the lytic cycle, the DNA of the host cell is destroyed.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. It is destroyed

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "lytic cycle" refers to one of the main processes viruses use to replicate in a host. In this, the virus first enters the cell, then destroys the ADN of the host, takes control over the cell and replicates, and finally, lysis occurs (the cell membrane is disintegrated and the replicated virus tries to infect other cells). This implies in this process the host's DNA is destroyed as this process is necessary for the replication of the virus that uses the energy and sources of the cell.
