In the lysogenic cycle, new viral particles are __________.
A) generally not produced
B) produced at a very slow rate that is almost
undetectable
C) spontaneously packaged and released D) constantly packaged and produced
Answer:
A) generally not produced
Explanation:
Lysogeny is a type of life cycle exhibited by certain viruses in which new viral particles are not produced. These viruses enter into the host cell and integrate their genome into the host DNA. The viruses survive in the host cell in this dormant stage. This allows the host cell to survive and carry the viruses. Once the conditions are favorable, the lysogenic virus can switch into the lytic cycle wherein new viral participles are formed. These are then released from the host cell.
