Chapter 8, Problem 37E.1RQ
Summary Introduction

To discuss: The effects of lysogenic and lytic infections on the host cell’s lifecycle.

Introduction: On the basis of their mode of replication, the viruses are categorized in two forms, namely lytic and lysogenic cycles. These cycles are the methods of viral reproduction that involves the viral introduction into the host cell and utilization of the genetic material of the host cell for the replication of more viruses.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

In the lytic cycle, the viruses infect the host cell and replicate within the host cell. Soon after the formation of newly formed virions, the host cell is lysed or disrupted and the new virions are released out. Here, the DNA of the virus is maintained and matures separately from the cellular DNA.

In the lysogenic cycle, the viruses infect the host cell and replicate within the host cell without causing any damage to the host cell. In this form, the viral genome integrates into the host cell’s genome and replicates along with it. Thereby this form of the life cycle of viruses and makes the host cell susceptible to genetic transformations. Sometimes, these types of viruses might lie dormant forever or sometimes it might switch over to the lytic cycle and bursts the host cell.
