A viral cycle,which ends with the rupture of the cell and release of new viral particles,is the:
A)temperate cycle
B)lytic cycle
C)lysogenic cycle
D)prophage cycle

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lytic cycle is a type of viral replication cycle that results in the destruction of the host cell and the release of new viral particles. In this cycle, the virus uses the host cell's machinery to replicate its DNA or RNA and assemble new virus particles. Eventually, the host cell bursts (or lyses) and releases these new viruses into the surrounding environment, where they can infect new cells and continue the cycle. The other options listed (temperate cycle, lysogenic cycle, and prophage cycle) involve the integration of the viral genome into the host cell's DNA and do not result in cell lysis.
