Question

1) During a lytic cycle, which genes are expressed (transcribed and translated)?
Group answers:
All genes needed for viral replication.
Only genes needed by the host cell to defend itself against viruses will be expressed
Both genes needed for viral replication and host cell genes are expressed.
(The only genes that are expressed are those for viral spikes and capsids wasn't correct)​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the lytic mode, almost all of the phage genes are transcribed and translated, and the phage DNA is replicated, leading to new progeny. In the lysogenic mode, the λ DNA is incorporated into the host genome.

Explanation:

All genes needed for viral replication.
